David Silva’s stellar showing during January saw him claim the first Etihad Player of the Month award in 2017.
The mercurial Spanish midfielder received the accolade during Manchester City’s mid-season training break in Abu Dhabi, from City Football Schools' participant, Juan.
The young Argentine was delighted to have the opportunity to quiz his favourite player, as he found out about the challenges of the Champions League, Silva’s favourite goal in the blue shirt and what it’s like to play under Pep Guardiola.
An FA Cup goal in the 5-0 win over West Ham, plus several assists were the key statistics behind our Spanish playmaker’s January performances, but the numbers only tell you so much.
The midfielder put in several impressive displays throughout the month.
