Thiago Silva has confirmed he is in negotiations with Chelsea over a new contract and hinted an announcement about the details of his deal could 'happen in the next few days'.

Silva's contract at Stamford Bridge is set to expire at the end of the 2022-2023 campaign, but the Premier League giants are in negotiations with him over a new deal.

The 38-year-old is adamant that he wants to 'continue playing at Chelsea' and says the club 'need' him as they 'rebuild' their squad following a string of poor results this season.
