Brazil great has joined the Blues.

Thiago Silva has insisted his cult status beyond football means nothing without silverware.

The Brazil stalwart has fired a stark lesson to Chelsea’s talented youngsters that in football it is only the winners who are remembered.

The 36-year-old admitted he now knows all about Dave and AJ Tracey’s hit single Thiago Silva, after teenage fan Alex Mann joined the British rap stars on stage at Glastonbury.

“At 36, I am arriving to play in one of the best championships in the world.

“This is usually a league of young players but I am coming here as an older player and I see it as because Frank Lampard and Chelsea want a player of my experience.

“If someone wants a runner, then I refer to the words that Carlo Ancelotti used for James Rodriguez ‘if you want someone to run, they can sign Usain Bolt’.

“With my experience and the young players here, I hope to help them in this new adventure.

“It is another opportunity for me in my life. I will say that I am very well prepared, I have been working hard towards this.

“Tomorrow is my first game and I feel like it will go well given the way that we are training.”
