AC Milan winger, Rafael Leao has named a Chelsea player in his best XI in the world at the moment.

The Portuguese was on Sky Italia recently, and when he was prompted to build a team consisting of the players he considers the best in the world, he included Thiago Silva in defence, alongside Manchester City’s Ruben Dias.

Silva is the only Chelsea player on the team, but his inclusion can only mean that fans of the Blues are not the only ones who see his brilliance.

Despite being 39, the Brazilian continues to put in good performances in each game, even though we know that at some point his body will finally give in to age.

Silva is out of contract with Chelsea at the end of the current season, and so far, there haven’t been talks of whether it will be renewed.
