Manchester City midfielder David Silva has urged his club to try and sign Cesc Fabregas in the summer.

The Arsenal captain’s future was the subject of intense speculation last summer and with Arsene Wenger’s side once again finishing the season without a trophy Silva wants Mancini to bring him to Manchester.

Manchester City’s qualification for the Champions League next season is expected to see Roberto Mancini’s team being linked with many mega-money moves and David Silva has made no secret of who he would like his manager to sign.

“If only he Fabregas could come, it would be great, marvellous,” Silva said as reported by The Sun.

“We know what he’s achieved as a player and he has a lot of experience of playing in England.”

Spain and Arsenal are renowned for their passing style of football and Silva says Fabregas would be the perfect addition to bring that same mentality to Eastlands.

“He likes to keep the ball and that’s how we like to play. He treats the ball as his friend and I get on with him well,” he added.

“I know him from the national side, so it would be great.”
