Lamps oepns up and reveals what new world class signing will bring to Chelsea
Frank Lampard has delivered his verdict on his brand new recruit Thiago Silva, who completed his move to the club just a few days ago.
Silva has been in the headlines over the past few weeks, as there has been constant rumours that he is heading to the Premier League, with a number of clubs interested after he left PSG on a free transfer.
But at the very last minute, we swooped in and offered him a one-year contract to make the move to the Bridge, as Frank Lampard seeks to add a leader to his back-line, and the deal was announced earlier today.
Lampard is expecting the former PSG captain to add plenty of experience to the defence: ‘With Thiago Silva, we are looking at a player I know very well, pretty much as we all do,’ the English boss on the club website
‘He brings great experience for us, he is still playing at a massively high level, as we saw in the Champions League final and games towards the final, so I expect him to come and bring that, bring his experience, leadership and his qualities. It is going to be very important for us.
‘We have a relatively young squad, we saw that last year, there were games afterwards when I was probably asking for more voice and some more leadership in different ways and he brings that naturally straight away, and also on the pitch he can help talk and be the player that he is which means affecting others.
‘On those levels I hope he brings that. I am pretty sure he will with the qualities we know he has, so I am excited for when he joins up.’
