David Silva is among Premier League’s best ever and should be in the same bracket as Thierry Henry, Eric Cantona and Co


WHEN we are talking about the best foreign players to grace the Premier League then David Silva is one of the best— if not the best.

There’s Thierry Henry at Arsenal, Manchester United’s Eric Cantona or Silva’s Manchester City team-mate Sergio Aguero, but the Spanish star is undoubtedly in the same bracket.

He might not have scored a huge amount of goals but I don’t think he is underrated by anyone who has watched him over the last ten years.

It’s impossible not to appreciate Silva’s ability and what he has done for City.

With four titles and two FA Cups he will rightly go down as one of the best players in the club’s history.

But it’s not just what he did for City — it’s what he brought to the league in terms of his style.

And don’t forget that he also has over 120 caps for Spain, picking up a World Cup and two European Championships along the way.

If we do get back to playing football, it will be such a shame that he will bow out with no fans in the stadium.

Hopefully he will be able to play the last nine league games.

But it is sad that supporters won’t be able to say thank you and goodbye for what he has done for their club.
