Former PSG star backs Thiago to be success at Chelsea with deal close
Thiago Silva’s imminent transfer to Chelsea has been backed by a former Paris Saint-Germain defender Sylvain Distin, with a deal close to completion
Reports broke just a few days ago which revealed that we were interested in trying to sign the Brazilian defender this summer as Frank Lampard seeks to bolster that back-line ahead of the new season.
But he 35-year-old PSG captain has already held talks with the club over a summer switch to Stamford Bridge, and will make the move to London now that the Champions League is over with, according to the Sky Sports website.
And ahead of his move to London, Premier League veteran Distin has opened up and backed the defender to be a huge success in the Premier League, he told TalkSport: “He is an experienced player that is for sure,”
“But he’s played in the French league and the Premier League is a different beast, and it’s very difficult to predict how the player will adapt.
“So, in terms of experience and charisma he will be a good signing for Chelsea, if they end up signing him. But how is he going to do? That is too much of a gamble to predict.
“I also heard in the news that Everton are after him and that could be a good signing as well, but we will have to wait a couple of months to see how he adapts to the Premier League.
“And it’s the lifestyle as well, not just the football; it is a very different life in England.”
