Chelsea veteran Thiago Silva admits it felt 'like love at first sight' when he joined the club in 2020 - and reveals his dream would be watching his kids play professionally at Stamford Bridge

Thiago Silva has revealed that it would be his 'dream' to see his kids play professionally for Chelsea in the future.

The Brazilian defender is still going strong at the age of 39 in what is his fourth season at Stamford Bridge.

He has built a strong affinity with the club and their supporters, and played down talks of a return to Brazil in the summer as his family are happy and settled in London.

Silva has two sons, Isago da Silva and Iago da Silva and both currently play for Chelsea's academy.
