David Silva rubbishes rumours of Manchester City exit

Manchester City midfielder David Silva has insisted that he is "very happy" at the club following reports that he could leave the Etihad Stadium.

It has been rumoured that La Liga giants Real Madrid are keen to sign the former Valencia player.

"I'm very happy in Manchester and I think this is similar to what happens every year," The Mirror quotes the Spain international as saying. "There are always rumours and, in the end, the player has to be calm."

Silva agreed a five-year deal with the former Premier League champions last year.
