David Silva has given Manchester City a boost by committing himself to a new five-year deal with the Premier League champions.
The mercurial playmaker has clinched a new deal that will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until 2019.
Silva, who joined City from Valencia in 2010, will be 33 by the time his contract expires.
"From the moment I joined the club four years ago it has felt like a second home to me.
“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?
“Over the last four years, we have achieved so much together, establishing City as a dominating force in England and now, when I look around this dressing room, I can see no reason why we won’t become one of the top teams in the world.
“It was a straightforward decision to extend my stay here and spend my peak years at Manchester City, a club with unbelievable fans who have always supported me."
Silva has hit 27 goals in 179 appearances for the Citizens.
