Vincent Kompany signs new six-year contract with Manchester City

Vincent Kompany has been rewarded for skippering Manchester City to their first Premier League title by being given a new six-year-contract.

The 26-year-old was one of the prominent figures under Roberto Mancini last season and scored the crucial winner against Manchester United in the third-to-last game of the campaign.

Kompany said he felt as though the Blues “project” was also his own and the Belgian insisted he never dreamed of moving away from the Etihad Stadium,

“For me if you are good somewhere then there is no reason to look elsewhere,” he told the official Man City website on Thursday.

“Man City as a project is not just a project of the owners or the people employed by the club; it is also my project. “I have been here since the beginning and I have seen everything at the club change inside and out. I have the feeling that I have contributed to it too.

“It is good to know that I can be at City for another six years. It is a compliment that the club feels so highly of me. “Hopefully in the future I will have a bigger impact than I already have. I am good here.”
