Chelsea appear to have made their decision over the future of veteran centre-back Thiago Silva at the club, if recent reports are to be believed. It comes at a time where the Blues are undergoing a complete squad overhaul in the transfer market, with a whole host of incomings over the past two transfer windows.
The club's new model has seen an emphasis on signing promising youth players, spending over £250million in the summer as well breaking the £150million mark for this month. Benoit Badiashile has been one of the latest acquisitions from AS Monaco, with the youngster slotting into the team seamlessly so far.
The Frenchman has heaped praise on the experience of Silva to help him through the opening stages of his Chelsea career so far though, telling talkSPORT: "First and foremost, it’s a real honour to play alongside him [Thiago Silva]. And do you know what, for a young player like me, he’s someone that makes things easy.
