The Blues' midfield capture from Valencia is aiming to enjoy more celebrations at City following Spain's dramatic extra-time final win over the Netherlands in Johannesburg.
Modest Silva had to be persuaded to show us his medal, but admitted: "I'm very happy with what we did this summer - it's the best time that any player can have.
"I am looking forward to starting the season with my new team, I'm excited about my new team. And I will be happy if at the end we are in the Champions League - or if we win a trophy.
"Roberto Mancini and Garry Cook have told me we are building a very good team with some of the best players in the world and we are going to fight for honours."
Silva, heading for a holiday in the Canaries before joining the squad, said: "My first target is to get into the team, and then to fight for the league and the other competitions.
