Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah in a recent statement, admitted that he would love to emulate team-mate Thiago Silva’s successful career.

Chalobah also revealed how he idolised the Brazilian defender while growing up.

Chalobah has earned his way into the Blues senior squad this season after three successful loans in England and abroad.

After an excellent pre-season, Chalobah has made 22 appearances so far in the 2021/22 season, including a solid 120-minute performance in Sunday’s Carabao cup final against Liverpool, after which he was left requiring stitches in the dressing room following Naby Keita’s late tackle.

Chalobah, in a statement ahead of Chelsea match vs Luton Town on Wednesday, discussed his admiration for a defensive colleague he never imagined he would one day be sharing a pitch with.

‘I came to Chelsea aged eight or nine and I was a striker,’ he revealed. ‘I moved to centre-back and I used to always look at Thiago Silva. I watched videos of him on YouTube and implemented my game like his. Sharing a pitch with him is unreal.’
