“When I speak everyone listens – even Zlatan” – Chelsea’s new ‘monster’ signing is coming

Chelsea have added some absolute quality to their squad so far this summer, with even more new signings expected.

Frank Lampard is building a real beast of a squad this season, and the Premier League must be fearful.

On the subject of beasts, Chelsea have added a ‘monster’ to the heart of their new rebuild in the shape of former PSG captain, Thiago Silva.

In the words of Telegraph writer Jason Burt, ‘The Premier League has been warned: the Monster is coming.’

Silva is a real leader, and that is exactly what Blues boss Frank Lampard wanted to add to his back line, a player with real experience capable of leading the team on the pitch – something that has lacked in many recent Chelsea squads.

In an interview with The Telegraph fours years ago, Silva gave a very good example of the type of leadership you can expect him to bring to Chelsea.

He said “When I speak everyone listens – even Zlatan.”

Yes, even Zlatan!
