Chelsea seriously considering deal for serial winner to shore up defence

Chelsea are reportedly considering signing experienced centre-back, Thiago Silva, on a free transfer this summer. The 35-year-old defender will leave PSG after their Champions League final clash with Bayern Munich on Sunday. Silva has won seven Ligue 1 titles since joining PSG for £36million from AC Milan in 2012. The Daily Telegraph claims that Frank Lampard’s men have been offered the chance to bring Silva to Stamford Bridge. Lampard wants a new centre-back to bolster his back-line after Chelsea conceded more goals than any top-10 club last season. The Blues have also been linked with West Ham midfielder Declan Rice, who would be converted into a centre-half if he made the move. Source: TeamTalk
