An experienced campaigner, David Silva has all the qualities you want in a midfielder. He has been a guiding force behind the success of youngsters like Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling.

His capabilities are there for all to see, as he offers great depth in the midfield along with other midfielders like Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, Fernandinho. He can also play as an attacking midfielder as well as a winger

Silva has combined well with the forward line consisting of Gabriel Jesus and the charismatic Sergio Aguero. The midfielder has scored six goals in 27 matches and also has six assists to his name. He has also scored three goals in 7 Champions League games this season.

The former Valencia player is the fittest member of the team and has been a busy player for the Etihad outfit. During the 2016-17 season, Silva was criticized for underperforming against some tough opponents but was back to his best in the record-breaking 2017-18 season for Manchester City.

Silva signed a 3-year contract with Manchester City last year and it clearly shows how eager the owners, as well as the team management, are to retain Silva because of the experience, creativity, and leadership he brings to the table.
