Thiago Silva has silenced his detractors with his displays at Chelsea
More than a few eyebrows were raised when Chelsea sanctioned Thiago Silva’s free transfer from PSG in 2020.
The biggest concern was the age factor, with the former AC Milan defender arriving at Stamford Bridge at 34 years of age. He turned 35 a month later and many questioned the wisdom of the transfer.
Silva has been a pristine professional throughout his career and he quickly set about doing his talking on the field.
He won the Chelsea fans over with his instant adaptation to the club and also showcased his affinity to the Blues through his social media activities.
His performances have been so stellar that the board have offered him not one but two contract extensions to his initial one-year deal. The new extension will see him represent the West London outfit until the end of the 2022-23 season.
