Thiago Silva‘s impressive start to the season has convinced Chelsea to extend the Brazilian stay at Stamford Bridge, according to Sky Sports. The veteran defender, who is one of the several first-team players to arrive in London in the summer, has been very impressive, so much so that the Blues are now looking to extend his contract with the club for an additional year.
Chelsea Looking to Extend Thiago Silva Contract
Thiago Silva Rewarded for Chelsea’s Impressive Start
Silva, who signed for Chelsea as a free agent this season, is all set to be rewarded with another year following his impressive start. The Brazilian, who was one of the many names to arrive at Chelsea this season, has been the pick of the new signings. Silva’s leadership and calming influence have seen the Blues conceding just four goals and keeping three clean sheets in his five league appearance.
According to the report, Chelsea will likely start their discussions with the Brazilan at the start of the next year. Frank Lampard, who has often spoken about his influence on the squad, is keen to keep the Brazilian beyond the current season.
Lampard who had recently spoken about Silva’s influence on the squad said: “His influence is huge. Without the language his professionalism has been very clear.
“That rubs off on players, they respect him. His performances have been very good. He trains well, prepares well and it’s very obvious with him why he has had the amazing career he has had so far. It’s been great to have him in the squad.”
The Brazilian Will be a Key Player for Chelsea in Their Match Against Tottenham Hotspur
Frank Lampard will be hoping that the veteran’s experience will play a key role during their match against Tottenham Hotspur. The North London giants have been one of the teams to beat this season. Apart from their occasional lapses, Jose Mourinho’s men have been very impressive on both sides of the pitch.
With Harry Kane and Son Heung-min looking almost unplayable the experience of Silva will have a huge impact in keeping the duo out.
