Chelsea FC’s defence which was made up Azplicueta (c), Reece James, Kurt Zouma, Antonio Rudigar, Andrease Christensen, Fikayo Tomori, Marcos Alonso and Emerson Palmieri has been under constant criticism as a result of defensive blunders.
Strengthening the defence has been Chelsea the priority of Chelsea manager Frank Lampard after beefing up his attack with Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner.
35-year-old Thiago Silva who is been out of contract after spending 7years with French side PSG, following a €42m move from serial giant AC Milan has agreed to join Chelsea after being convinced by the Blues boss Lampard.
The Brazilian veteran who is regarded as one of the best Central back in his generation offers a lot when it comes to organizing the defence on the field.
The former PSG and Brazil captain is well known for his leadership skills, ability to deal with aerials balls, reading of the game, commanding his teammates on the field and Champions League experience. These qualities are something that Chelsea current team is lacking.
