Thiago Silva could be wearing the prestigious captain's arm-band for Chelsea if he completes his move to Stamford Bridge according to reports. Reports claim Blues boss Frank Lampard is ready to hand the center-back the responsibility when he signs a two year deal with the west London club this week. The Brazilian international played his last game for Paris Saint-Germain when they lost by 1-0 in the Champions League final to Bayern Munich in Lisbon. Thomas Tuchel has done everything to persuade the 35-year-old to remain at the club but the central defender seems to have made up his mind. And according to Brazilian news outlet Globo, Lampard is willing to cement Silva's place in his squad with the skipper's arm-band which has been worn by Cesar Azpilicueta. Silva who spent three seasons with AC Milan and eight long years with the Parisians rejected the chance to make more money in the Middle East and the Chinese Super League. The former Fluminense defender stated that he wanted to remain in Europe and play in a topflight league to boost his chances of representing Brazil at the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
