David Silva to Manchester City

Valencia agreed a £24m transfer of Spain international winger David Silva with Manchester City.

Silva, 24, had a medical on Wednesday before signing a four-year contract at City, where he hopes to earn Champions League qualification next season.

This is the third transfer of City manager Roberto Mancini of the summer following the arrivals of Hamburg’s German international defender Jerome Boateng and Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure from Barcelona.
