Silva joined City from Valencia for £24million in 2010 and has become one of the club's most popular players.

He has scored 52 goals in 324 appearances for the Citizens, helping them win two Premier League titles and an FA Cup.

The playmaker has started all 14 of his team's league games this term, including Wednesday's 2-1 victory over Southampton, as Pep Guardiola's men have established an eight-point lead at the top of the table.
