David Silva seeking silverware with Real Sociedad following Man City switch

Sociedad will play in the Europa League next season.

Former Manchester City star David Silva is targeting more silverware after returning to Spain.

The 34-year-old midfielder, whose trophy-laden 10-year stay at the Etihad Stadium drew to a close earlier this month, was unveiled by new club Real Sociedad on Monday and was in no mood to ease himself quietly towards retirement.

Silva told a press conference: "The team is playing some great football and I hope to add to that here and have some great years at the club.

"I have high expectations in terms of the football we'll be playing and I think we can compete for silverware.

"I've been lucky enough to win a lot of things in my career. I'm very competitive and I'm going to try and do the same here because that's why I've been brought in."

Silva, for so long a part of City's as yet unrequited quest for Champions League glory, will play in the Europa League next season courtesy of Sociedad's sixth-placed finish in LaLiga, and that is a prospect he is relishing.

He said: "Of course, after so many years of playing in Europe, you want to continue doing that. I also came because I like the style of football the team plays."
