Gary Lineker has says that Chelsea defender Thiago Silva is "ridiculously good" after the centre-back racked up a hugely impressive stat during his performance in Chelsea's 2-0 win over Lille.

Silva, 37, will be turning 38 in September but against all logic, he seems to be improving as he slowly approaches the age of 40.

No wonder the Blues board were quick to secure him down for the upcoming 2022/23 season, with the importance of his leadership to European and world champions' success clearly outlines since he signed on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in 2020.

Since that switch across the channel, Chelsea's defence has become rock solid and Tuchel's lieutenant has played a big part in this change from the wobbly rear-guard that was evident under Frank Lampard's reign.

A Champions League title coupled with success in the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup has been the return that the central defender has earned since agreeing a Premier League move and he is certainly not willing to let his 'dream' in west London end anytime soon with more potential silverware success on the immediate horizon with the Carabao Cup
