Vincent Kompany has signed a new five-year deal with Manchester City.

The Belgian captain has put pen to paper on a contract that will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until 2019. The deal is reported to be worth over £31m. 

The 28-year-old told the club's official website: “When I arrived in 2008, I could never have dreamed that we could achieve what we have over the last six years but, for me, this is just the start of the journey.

“This team is stronger now than it’s ever been; we have competition for places in every position and a dressing room full of exceptional, motivated people who want to continue making history together.

(Kompany has captained the club to two Premier League titles)

“Lifting two Premier League titles, the FA Cup and the Capital One Cup have been four of the best days of my life but I believe that there are many more of these occasions ahead.

"There are so many new landmarks and records to chase and I hope signing this new contract is taken as a statement of intent that I want to keep fighting for trophies for this special club."

“We have a common goal and so much to look forward to - a family of clubs, the opening of City Football Academy, exciting players coming through our youth system – why would I go anywhere else?”

Kompany joins Aleksandar Kolarov, Samir Nasri and David Silva in signing a new contract.
