Chelsea have added some absolute quality to their squad so far this summer, with even more new signings expected.
Frank Lampard is building a real beast of a squad this season, and the Premier League must be fearful.
On the subject of beasts, Chelsea have added a ‘monster’ to the heart of their new rebuild in the shape of former PSG captain, Thiago Silva.
In the words of Telegraph writer Jason Burt, ‘The Premier League has been warned: the Monster is coming.’
Silva is a real leader, and that is exactly what Blues boss Frank Lampard wanted to add to his back line, a player with real experience capable of leading the team on the pitch – something that has lacked in many recent Chelsea squads.
In an interview with The Telegraph fours years ago, Silva gave a very good example of the type of leadership you can expect him to bring to Chelsea.
He said “When I speak everyone listens – even Zlatan.” Yes, even Zlatan!
