Manchester City winger David Silva admits he was baffled to hear claims that he was unhappy with life at the Eastlands.
Quotes had came out of the Spanish media suggesting that the former Valencia man was looking to move elsewhere, but the tricky schemer has reassured all of those concerned that he has no intentions of leaving the club.
“I was as surprised as anyone else here to have read those reports,” Silva told City's official website.
“I do the odd interview with Spanish press but I have never come out with these quotes that may or may not have been attributed to me.
“My initial reaction was surprise, but as I have said before, I am happy to be here and I find myself very much at ease with life here.
“The thing about a big city like Manchester is that people respect your space. They leave you to get on with your life. In Spain, people can get on your back and maybe live the game more. Here it’s nice to go out and chill in the city.”
Silva conceded that he struggled at first to adapt to life in the Premier League, where he has only found the back of the net three times.
However, recent performances indicate that the talented 25-year-old has rediscovered the form which earned him rave reviews for World Cup winners Spain.
The Spaniard also commented that his fellow team-mates helped to settle him into life at the Blues and felt that traveling between international games and domestic matches had disrupted attempts to reach peak fitness.
Silva continued, “The help of my team-mates and all the people at the club has helped my settling-in period go so smoothly.
"It was difficult to begin with, but I was not quite 100 per cent fit because I missed part of pre-season due to my late arrival from the World Cup.
“There were also a couple of international friendlies that involved long journeys which interrupted me getting shape. I didn’t have the time then, but since then I think the form has started to come through for me.”
