Chelsea have renewed the contract of veteran defender Thiago Silva for another season.

The Brazilian centre-back played a key role in the heart of Chelsea's defence as they won the Champions League, finished in the top-four and reached the FA Cup final.

Silva's renewal comes on the same day as Thomas Tuchel's new two-year extension to his Chelsea contract, with the German head coach now staying on until 2024.
