Thiago Silva
Legendary defender Thiago Silva has been a ray of hope in what has been a dismal season for the Blues. The Brazilian has been a consummate professional since arriving at the club, never shying away from a challenge and holding Chelsea’s back line together.
Despite his quality performances, he’s far beyond the peak of his career – the former PSG and AC Milan player is now 38 years of age.
He’s also picked up 113 caps for Brazil, scoring seven goals. Overall, Silva is Brazil’s fifth most capped player of all time.
