Thiago Silva has signed a one-year contract extension with Chelsea after a fantastic debut campaign.
A shock signing by Frank Lampard last summer, there were many in the media that believed Silva was passed his best and would not be able to keep up his levels in the Premier League.
However, his quality, ability and leadership on that pitch has made the club so defensively quality and he has helped them get back into that top four spot, while also helping the club to another Champions League win
After tasting defeat in last year’s final against Bayern Munich with PSG, Silva finally got his hands on the European Cup for the first time after Kai Havertz’s goal decided the game in Porto.
Director Marina Granovskaia said: “When we brought Thiago Silva in last summer, we knew we were adding a world-class player to the squad.
“Thiago has duly shown everyone at Chelsea his immense quality throughout this season, and he has had a huge influence on and off the pitch for us.
“We said when he signed that we hoped Thiago would add new trophies to his impressive list of honours, and he has done just that with our success in the Champions League this weekend.
“We now hope that he carries on in exactly the same fashion in the coming year.”
We are massive fans of Silva and are very delighted to see that he has agreed this deal, he really makes that defence alot better and keeping him is a real boost
