City ties up Silva for 5 more years

DAVID Silva has signed a new five-year contract with Manchester City, the English Premier League champion announced yesterday.

Spain playmaker Silva, who has won two Premier League titles with City, is now set to stay with the north-west side until the end of the 2018/19 season. Silva, 28, has been a central figure at Eastlands since joining the club from Spanish side Valencia in 2010.

“From the moment I joined the club four years ago it has felt like a second home to me,” Silva, who has also won the FA Cup and League Cup with City, said. “On and off the pitch, I feel incredibly content and fulfilled professionally and personally, so why wouldn’t I want to stay and keep winning trophies with this fantastic team?

City begins the defence of its Premier League title away to Newcastle on Sunday.
