Recealed: How Thiago Silva's 'pack of experience' will benefit Chelsea

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink believes that Silva will help the young players at Chelsea a lot.

However, Silva's experience will come in very handy in helping the youngsters relax during games and they will look up to him as he won a lot during his career.

"Thiago Silva will bring with him a wealth of experience and know-how. I understand the signing 100 per cent," former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink told GentingBet.

"Obviously, French football is also different than English football which is more demanding so he will have to look after his body especially as they are involved in the Champions League as well.

"But he is a great addition. Chelsea have a lot of young players and he will be there to help them. Chelsea have Jorginho who has done that job really, really well.

"If you look at him during the games when he’s playing, he speaks a lot to the young players. I think Thiago Silva will be the same. He’s somebody that the young players can look up to because he’s won a lot.

"He’s played a lot for Brazil – he’s been there and done it. He’s also a very calm person who will help the young players relax."

Hasselbaink had previously urged his old club to sign some defensive stars if they want to win titles - it seems like his wish has been granted!

Silva is a fantastic centre-back capable of transforming the Chelsea defence and we have no doubt that he will guide the youngsters and the club in a positive direction for as long as he stays at Stamford Bridge.
