Thiago Silva's agent has revealed his client rejected many offers before deciding to join Chelsea.

The 35-year-old defender signed a one-year contract with the Blues after leaving PSG.

"He (Silva) is on holiday in Italy, he will be in London between now and the end of the week," Paulo Tonietto told L'Equipe.

"He is happy to discover the Premier League. We had a lot of offers, but Chelsea are one of the world's top 10 clubs.

"Physically, Thiago can play for another 5 or 6 years at the highest level. He is an athlete who looks after himself. He doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke, he doesn't party. His life is home – work, work – home."
