Tevez is welcome at Manchester City: David Silva

David Silva says Manchester City would welcome wantaway striker Carlos Tevez, who is due to return to Eastlands, with open arms.Tevez revealed his desire to leave the club for a second time at the end of last season, claiming he wants to be closer to his family.u00a0



A move back to former club Corinthians earlier in the summer failed to materialise due to the close of the Brazilian transfer window.

And now Silva believes his team-mates will not show any bitterness towards Tevez, and says the Argentine can still be a key player for Roberto Mancini's men. He was quoted as saying by The Sun: "Carlos has to return and that's great. He's a very important player for us.

"I don't think we'll have a problem. We know Carlos well. If he stays, great. There are a lot of competitions and we hope to play well in all of them. He would help that."
