A reminder that Chelsea signed him for free!

Fixing the defence was a big concern for Frank Lampard going into the new season

Thankfully for the Chelsea legend, the hierarchy led by Marina Granovskaia were quick to act as they pulled off a deal for Thiago Silva before any other club when the Brazilian ended his tenure at PSG.

At the age of 36, Thiago Silva looks fantastic at the back as Chelsea are yet to lose a game in the 7 appearances he has made for the club.

The former AC Milan defender looks settled now after making a horrible error in the 3-3 draw against West Brom.

Chelsea were solid again last night as a brace from Timo Werner led the 3-0 win against Rennes in the Champions League.

It was a comfortable enough performance at Stamford Bridge, summed up by this audacious pass from Thiago Silva.

Definitely the pass of the night, Silva beautifully curled a 70 yard pass over the top and into the path of Reece James.
