David Silva has joined La Liga side Real Sociedad on a two-year deal.

The Manchester outfit had announced earlier on Monday that it would be honouring the Spaniard by building a statue of him outside the Etihad Stadium.

 

Sociedad, which finished sixth in La Liga, is one of the most attractive sides in the Spanish top-flight and was searching for a new play-maker after Martin Odegaard ended a one-year loan spell to return to Real Madrid.
