Thiago Silva is one Chelsea player who is worthy of all the hype he gets. At 38, he doesn't only defend excellently, he reads the game effectively. 

The Blues were back in Champions League action against RB Salzburg on Tuesday night. Goals from Mateo Kovacic and Kai Havertz had sealed the victory for the Blues over a relentless Salzburg side, but Thiago Silva played his own role to prevent the Austrian outfit from scoring an equalizer against Chelsea in the 69th minute. 

Salzburg man, Pavlovic won a header in Chelsea's box in the 69th minute after Kepa's mistake. The Salzburg defender thought he would equalise but the Brazilian had other ideas. Thiago Silva brilliantly cleared Kepa's mistake in a way that makes one just wonder what stuff on earth the man was built with!

CONFIRMED: Todd Boehly finally decides on FIVE players who will be leaving Stamford Bridge in the summer.

 Todd Boehly has decided he will offload five Chelsea players.  Since taking over as Co-owner of Chelsea, it has not clicked for Todd Boehly despite splashing the cash to sign some of the big names in world football.  Consecutive run of losses and sloppy display from players are two core reasons the Blues will be considering a squad overhaul this summer, and five players will be offloaded. According to a report from the Spanish publication SPORT, it is claimed that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Hakim Ziyech, Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are being lined up for sale which could raise a whopping £129 million. If the market values of the players in question are met, it would provide the incoming Chelsea manager with a hefty transfer chest to spend and bring in a couple of new faces to bolster the squad over the summer.
