Euro 2008 heroes David Silva and David Villa appear set to snub moves to the Premier League after reiterating their happiness at Valencia.

The pair played key roles in Spain's Euro 2008 triumph - Villa finished the tournament as top scorer, while Silva impressed with his performances on the wing for Spain.

Both players have been linked with moves to Liverpool, but hit-man Villa - who is also reportedly wanted by Chelsea - says he is not looking to change clubs this summer.

"I've always felt the affection of the fans and it is something that fills me with pride," said Villa in AS.

"I am happy with my current contract and I am very happy in Valencia."

Silva is equally content at the Mestalla, saying: "I am happy in Valencia and with my current contract, and now I think of just going to relax and enjoy this great success.

"You will have to ask the club. I am very comfortable here, as is my family, and the team is very competitive."

Valencia president Agustin Morera has again stressed his commitment to keeping the duo, insisting he could have sold both Villa and Silva.

Morera said: "Our desire is to keep both Villa and Silva. If we had wanted to we could have sold them because we have offers on the table.

"Our interest is for them to stay - that is our dream and to make a great team."

  1. Hope this is not just a ploy, intended to lure more attractive bidding. I'll however salute u guys if u stick to your commitment. Adebayor said the same thing n even more. Claiming Arsenal was a team of brotherhood which he is enjoying. But today.... what's he saying. Before I forget, please Dr. Wenger we need defenders at Arsenal. Last season, your team scored enough goals to top the Premier League, but the only reason they didn't top the league table is because, they conceded a lot of goals, which led to a string of draws. The entire defence line needs a complete overhaul. Anang Jo
