Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has signed a one-year contract extension with the club until the end of the 2022/23 season.
Silva joined Chelsea in the summer of 2020 following the end of his Paris Saint-Germain contract, and has established himself as a regular at the centre of the Blues’ defence.
The Brazilian has made 22 appearances for Thomas Tuchel’s side this season, scoring two goals and assisting two more.
Since his arrival, Silva has also helped Chelsea win the Champions League and European Super Cup and reaching the league cup final.
Speaking to Chelsea’s website after signing his deal, Silva said: “To play here with Chelsea is a real pleasure. I never thought I would play for three years here in this great club so I’m very happy to stay for another season.”
