CITY CHASING THE NEXT SILVA

Manchester City midfielder David Silva has been one of the best players in the Premier league this season.

He has grown in stature at Manchester City so much so that the club are looking at the possibility of signing a player recommended by the Spaniard.

The Spaniard arrived from Valencia in a deal worth around £ 24 million, which looks like a great value now. David Silva has been not only contributing to the team in terms of his leadership abilities, but also in terms of the assists and goal scoring abilities as well.

Athletic Bilbao midfielder Javi Martinez has been a major target for Premier league clubs, and Manchester city are the latest to join in the race to sign the youngster.

Javi Martinez has been a target for Manchester United for quite some time now. It is also thought that Chelsea are also keen on signing the Spaniard. Chelsea have been showing a keen interest in signing Spanish players over the last few seasons, and it is very much thought that Javi Martinez is high on their list. However, both Manchester United and Chelsea will be blown out of the water following entry of Manchester City into the race to sign Javi Martinez. The Athletic Bilbao midfielder was recently recommended by Manchester City midfielder David Silva.

"We don't want Javi to go — only an incredible offer could change our minds," was the response from Spanish club Athletic Bilbao after being enquired about the opportunity to sell Javi Martinez. One can be sure that Manchester city will not be waiting on for too long if the players is that good.

Hence, it will not be long before Manchester City break the transfer record for their club once again. Sergio Aguero was the last player to arrive at Manchester City from Spain.
