David Silva deserves to be regarded as one of the best players in the Premier League, according to former Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given.
The Spain international is in his eighth season with City and remains a key player for Pep Guardiola's side. The 31-year-old is joint top of the Premier League assist chart this season alongside Kevin De Bruyne, while only his City team-mate and Mesut Ozil have created more chances after 10 games, according to Opta.
Silva has a gift that cannot be coached in many young players, according to Given, who believes he remains underrated by many football admirers.
