London –
Next season, Chelsea’s defense line, you can imagine who the players will be. Thiago Silva the veteran player with three young defenders under the age of 25!
Chelsea is still clearing the warehouse, trading players. The players who usually live in the main squad are also in an unsafe position, aka ready to be released.
Reported from Football London, So far Kalidou Koulibaly has been sold to Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal. Furthermore, Trevoh Chalobah and Cesar Azpilicueta will be offered to Inter in order to make it easier for the Blues to get goalkeeper Andre Onana.
These three names usually fill the position of Chelsea’s central defender. Except for Azpilicueta, who is actually a right wing-back but is often deployed in a three-back scheme.
Now the question is, who are the remaining centre-backs at Chelsea?
There is still Thiago Silva, a 38-year-old veteran defender who still has one more season on his contract at Stamford Bridge. Then, there are still three centre-backs who are still young!
They are Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile who are both 22 years old. Another one is a centre-back who came out of the academy, 20-year-old Levi Colwill.
Fofana already has quite mature experience, having played in the Premier League since 2020 with Leicester. Meanwhile, Badiashile just made his debut last season and Colwill was loaned to Brighton last season and has only played 17 times in the Premier League.

Last season, Chelsea conceded 47 times in 38 matches in the Premier League. Will the ranks of Thiago Silva and his juniors be able to make the Blues’ defense stronger?
