Chelsea ace defender wants to play at Stamford Bridge for two more seasons

Chelsea defender and Brazil star Thiago Silva seems to have cleared the air on his future at the club.

Silva in a statement claimed he is going to stay with the Blues for at least two more years.

The Brazil star made this known via the club website as he shared how he has fallen in love with living in the area, and the supporters who have backed him since his arrival.

This comes after Silva won Chelsea’s Player of the Season Award.

Despite his age, the Brazil defender played a key role in the Blues squad last season despite their struggles.

While he has been previously linked with a return to Brazil, it appears Silva will remain at Chelsea.

He said: “The club is really important to all of us – it’s a mutual love. My wife, for instance, takes the underground to games and when she gets off the train people recognise her and start to sing my name to her! That just shows the love that they have for us, and we have for them.

“I need to live close to Cobham because I have to focus more on my personal care and treatment. But I know my wife goes to London a lot, far more than I do, and I know she really likes it – she says it’s a very welcoming city. Bit by bit, we are feeling more and more like Londoners.

“The whole family have fallen in love with Chelsea. My sons, Isago and Iago, both play for Chelsea. Isago has extended his contract here for the next two seasons, which means we are going to be here for two years.”
