Brazilian superstar will be welcome addition to Chelsea squad, fans told!
Liverpool legend Steve McManaman believes Thiago Silva would be a welcomed addition to the Chelsea side.
Having conceded 54 Premier League goals last season, the worst record in the top half and 21 more than champions Liverpool, it was clear that Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard was not going to end his transfer business with Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech.
And that has led to many reports in the media that the club legend will be seeking to bolster a back-line that needs to be improved before the Premier League starts backs up in just a few weeks time.
Despite sealing a fourth-placed finish and qualification for next season’s Champions League, Chelsea struggled defensively throughout Lampard’s debut campaign in charge at Stamford Bridge, and Silva is the man that could help solve their issues.
SIlva won seven Ligue 1 titles during his time in France, but leaves the club having failed to achieve the European success desired most in Paris, and reports on the Sky Sports website have suggested that he has agreed a one-year deal to make the move to London.
And ahead of his move to Stamford Bridge, McManaman believes Thiago Silva would be a welcomed addition to the Chelsea side, Speaking about the Brazilian, McManaman told BT Sport: “Football is all about the now.
“You can’t plan about five, six or seven years because the manager might not even be there then.
“For the here and now he is an excellent defender.”
