Silva Pens for Chelsea 

Former Paris St Germain centre back, Thigo Silva has signed for Chelsea on a deal which will tie him to Stamford Bridge for a year.

The 35 year old Brazilian has left PSG having spent 8 years at the club and played 200 games, winning 7 League titles for the French Champion.

His last appearance for PSG was on the 23^rd of August, when they lost 1 nil to Bayern Munich in Champions League final which was played in Lisbon, Portugal.

I am so happy to be joining Chelsea. I am delighted to be a part of Frank Lampard’s exciting squad

I’m here to challenge for honours and I look forward to playing at Stamford Bridge very soon.

Silver is expected to bolster the defensive side of Lampard’s team which conceded 54 goals last season, the highest figure among the Premier League top 10.

Silver becomes Lampard’s forth signing this season following the former Leicester defender Ben Chilwell, Ajax forward Hakim Ziyech and Germany’s Timo Werner.
