Chelsea are reportedly ready to reward veteran defender Thiago Silva with a new-one year deal after playing a pivotal role in their success this season.
The 36-year-old arrived on a free transfer from PSG last summer under Frank Lampard, and was written-off as being too old to thrive in the Premier League.
The Brazilian has now proved the signing was a masterstroke.
