Thiago Silva signs short term 1 year deal at Chelsea

The club announced on their website on Thursday that defender Thiago Silva had joined the club on a 12 month dea with the option of a further one year.

The 35 year old Silva will bring some much needed experience and know how to the Chelsea back line. A regular for Brazil, Silva has previously played for AC Milan, before his move to the French capital.

It's clearly a short term basis signing, but things needed to improve at the back at Chelsea.

Silva's last game for PSG was the 1-0 Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich last Sunday. The transfer brings to an end an illustrious career in Paris, that seen him win 7 Ligue 1 titles, and numerous cups in the French capital.

The one thing to have eluded Silva during his time in Paris was European glory.
