Recently-installed Valencia coach Unai Emery is confident that both David Silva and David Villa will be available for selection when he begins the new season at the Mestalla…

Villa and Silva, two of Valencia’s brightest stars, have been linked with transfers elsewhere after enjoying some spectacular matches at Euro 2008.

Emery, though, is convinced that the two still have a role to play for Los Che.

“They’ll play a significant part,” he said. “The club has already told me this.

“I’m convinced that they’ll remain an important part of Valencia CF. They’ll be Valencia players of important stature.”

The Basque coach concluded by saying that he was “ready and able” to lead Los Che back to the top half.

“The most important thing is that Valencia wants to return to winning ways… we’re going to work and focus on making it possible.”
