Real Sociedad have signed former Manchester City midfielder, David Silva as a free agent.

This was disclosed by the Spanish La Liga side in a statement yesterday.

Recall that the 34-year-old former Spain international has left Manchester City after a decade of service in which he won 11 major trophies, including four English Premier League titles.
