Christensen, Thiago Silva 'close' to new Chelsea deals

According to reporter Gianluca Di Marzio, Chelsea are 'close' to getting Andreas Christensen and Thiago Silva to sign new contracts.

Both defenders see their current deals run out this season so resolving their future is seen as priority at Stamford Bridge.

The Danish defender will sign a new four-year deal, with an option to extend it by a further year.

Thiago Silva's deal will be renewed by another year, keeping him at Chelsea until the summer of 2023.
