With the news that Vincent Kompany was to be honoured with a statue outside the Etihad Stadium following his retirement, Manchester City have also confirmed that David Silva will also receive the same honour at the club's stadium.
Having played 436 competitive matches for the Blues, Silva won four Premier League titles, two FA Cups, three League Cups and three Community Shield trophies, although a European honour eluded him throughout his time in Manchester.
The English club announced the news through an official statement made by their president, Khaldoon Al Mubarak.
"David Silva is a transformational player, a quiet leader who has acted quietly and deliberately and inspired everyone around him, from the youngest academy player to his senior teammates over the past 10 years," the statement read.
"He has put a stamp on the team, on this club, its history and even the Premier League as a whole.
"In doing so he has been instrumental to the beautiful football philosophy you see today, he was the tart of it, David's statue will act as a lasting reminder of the wonderful moments he gave us."
