Spain midfielder David Silva on Thursday extended his contract with English football club Manchester City.
"David Silva has signed a one - year contract extension with Manchester City, " the club said in a statement.
The 31 - year - old, who is widely recognised as one of Man City's greatest ever players, has been in fine form the ongoing season during the record - breaking run of 19 - consecutive wins that has seen Pep Guardiola's side establish an eight - point lead at the top of the English Premier League (EPL) table.
Silva said: "I am so happy to have committed my future to City.
"I am incredibly proud of what I have achieved at City in my seven - and - a - half seasons here and with Pep in charge, I feel we are in a great position to win trophies this season and beyond.
"The style of football we are playing is a pleasure to be a part of and I look forward to winning more titles in the years to come. "
Silva joined City from Valencia in 2010, just days after becoming a World Cup winner with Spain after they beat Holland 1 - 0 in the final in South Africa.
In total, he has won two EPL titles, an FA Cup and two League Cups during his time at City.
