Vincent Kompany pens new deal

Vincent Kompany has put pen to paper on a new six-year contract with Manchester City.

It had been reported that the Belgian centre-back was due to ink an extension to his current deal, which had two years left to run.

The 26-year-old's new deal is believed to be worth around £130,000 per week.

"For me if you are good somewhere then there is no reason to look elsewhere," Kompany told the club's official website. "Man City as a project is not just a project of the owners or the people employed by the club; it is also my project.

"I have been here since the beginning and I have seen everything at the club change inside and out. I have the feeling that I have contributed to it too.

"It is good to know that I can be at City for another six years. It is a compliment that the club feels so highly of me."

Kompany, who is the club's captain, arrived at the Etihad Stadum for £6m from Hamburg in 2008.
