Manchester City's David Silva Signs New Five-Year Deal
Manchester City’s David Silva has signed a new five-year contract at the Eithad Stadium that will keep him with the Premier League champions until 2017.
The Sun. The 26-year-old Spanish midfielder was one of Citys key men last season, scoring six goals and assisting 18 times in 36 league appearances. Silva spoke of his joy at signing a new contract with the club:
Im very pleased because Ive been here for two years now and I feel very happy here. So now Im delighted to be extending my contract and being here really does feel just like home for me.He added:
Weve won the Premier League title and two other trophies too and the team is growing. We are now aiming at the Champions League and so that also is another reason to want to stay here and try and win it.Silva could start against Real Madrid in Manchester Citys first Champions League group tonight and whilst Silva may want to win the European prize, City manager Robert Mancini will be hoping that he can successfully guide the team to the knockout phase. Manchester Citys group, which has been labelled the group of death, includes Real Madrid, Dortmund and Ajax who are all tough oppositions for the Premier League champions. Citys strike force is easily one of the strongest in the Champions League so it's understandable why David Silva thinks the club can go all the way.
