Chelsea defender Thiago Silva reveals target after talks with Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has revealed that he wants to play on until he's 40 after talking with AC Milan star Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Silva has been a huge hit at Stamford Bridge since joining the club from Paris Saint-Germain in 2020 and has played every minute for the Blues in the Premier League so far this season.

The Brazilian veteran may have turned 38 last week, but he has no intention of winding his illustrious career down. And Silva is hopeful that his impressive form will be enough to land him another contract extension at Chelsea as he bids to play on into his forties' - just like Ibrahimovic, who turns 41 next month and helped fire AC Milan to the Serie A title last year.
