LONDON - Frank Lampard's Chelsea makeover gathered pace on Friday with the free transfer signing of former Paris Saint Germain captain Thiago Silva.
His eight years in Paris ended with the 1-0 Champions League final defeat against Bayern Munich in Lisbon last weekend. Silva won seven Ligue One titles with PSG and will be expected to provide experience and leadership at the heart of Lampard's defence. "We are delighted to be able to add a player of Thiago Silva's proven world-class credentials to our squad," Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia said.
Silva, who featured 315 times for PSG and won 23 trophies, posted an emotional farewell on social media. Silva is the latest new arrival at Stamford Bridge as Lampard rebuilds a side that finished fourth in the top flight last season, 33 points behind champions Liverpool, and lost the FA Cup final against Arsenal.
