A former team-mate of the World Cup-winning midfielder feels he deserves “wider accolades” than he has received in England
David Silva stood out at Manchester City from day one, says Micah Richards, with a man fondly known as “Merlin” having initially outshone big money signing Robinho before going on to become an all-time great at the Etihad Stadium.
The Blues are preparing to bid farewell to a player who has spent 10 memorable years on their books. Silva has been a model of consistency for over a decade, with four Premier League titles collected while making more than 420 appearances.
