Brazilian signs one-year deal with option for extra yearSilva joins to improve defence who conceded 54 goals
Chelsea have followed the £50m signing of Ben Chilwell from Leicester by landing Thiago Silva on a free transfer and are putting the finishing touches to their £90m move for the Bayer Leverkusen forward Kai Havertz.
Frank Lampard has been searching for defensive reinforcements and the chance to sign the 35-year-old Silva, who left
Paris Saint-Germain after their defeat by Bayern Munich in the
Champions League final, was seen as too good to turn down.
