Silva names midfielder he would love to join Chelsea this summer

Chelsea defender and Brazil star Thiago Silva has tipped midfielder Paulo Dybala to move to the club this summer.

Silva in his statement described the former Juventus star as a top player.

According to the defender, the 29-year-old midfielder would be an excellent signing for the Blues.

Silva also said he had asked Dybala about the rumours about him coming to Stamford Bridge, but the Argentine did not reply.

“I’ve asked Paulo Dybala if it’s true that he’s coming to Chelsea but he didn’t answer! He’s a top player, he’d be a massive signing for us — I’d like it,” he told Sky Sports.

The Brazil star also tipped his now former teammates, Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who departed Stamford Bridge for Milan this summer, to shine in the Serie A.

“Pulisic is a good guy, he’s gonna do very well at Milan — same as Loftus Cheek”, he said.
