Edin Dzeko on David Silva: 'For me he is the best player in the Premier League'

Few would argue against David Silva being among the best players in the Premier League, but Edin Dzeko believes his teammate is second to none.

Speaking after Manchester City's 5-0 thrashing of Newcastle on Saturday, Dzeko praised Silva and claimed that goals seemingly follow the Spanish attacking midfielder wherever he goes.

Of course, it should be noted that Silva scored two of his side's five goals in the fixture while also setting up what was Dzeko's first goal for City since September.

"The pass from David was first class, and for me he is the best player in the Premier League," Dzeko told Sky Sports, according to Kevin Palmer of ESPN FC. "To have him here with us is amazing. With David, you can always score goals."

No love for Sergio Aguero.
