THIAGO Silva’s son, Isago, has officially signed his first professional contract with Chelsea.
The 16-year-old is highly regarded at Cobham and is part of an exceptionally talented group of players in his age category, primarily competing for the U18 team.

He shared this significant achievement on his profile, captioning it: “Proud to sign my first professional deal with @ChelseaFC. Eager for more.”
His mother, Belle Silva, joined him for this special occasion and was photographed alongside him as he signed his new contract.
In the comments, he received congratulations from several of his teammates and young talents within the Cobham system, including the highly regarded Ibrahim Rabbaj, Reggie Walsh, and Ryan Kavuma-McQueen.
Following in his father's footsteps, he plays as a central defender who is comfortable on the ball, understands his positioning well, and is becoming increasingly physically dominant.
Last year, the teenager contributed to the Under-15s' victory in the Premier League Floodlit Super Cup, and his performances have certainly caught the attention of those in higher positions.
He also made headlines when he was seen as a ballboy during Chelsea’s match this season when the team returned 'home'.
While it may be unlikely, he could even make his debut this season, having been included among the 33 players in the Blues’ UEFA Champions League squad ahead of their upcoming match.
Isago’s younger brother, Iago, is also part of the club’s youth setup, with both brothers aspiring to play professionally in blue.
Speaking in 2023, the legendary defender expressed: “For me, it would be a dream to see them play professionally at Chelsea. I love watching them and supporting them as much as I can.”
At 41, Silva is already considered a legend at Chelsea, despite having only spent three seasons with the club. He expressed his desire to return in the future, perhaps in a coaching or managerial role for his son.
Silva stated upon his departure: “I came here with the intention of staying for just a year, and it ended up being four years.
“This is not only significant for me but for my family as well.
“My sons play for Chelsea, so it’s a tremendous source of pride to be part of the Chelsea family—literally, as my sons are here.
“I hope they can continue their careers at this successful club that many players aspire to join.
“I wish to keep the door open so that in the near future, I can return, albeit in another capacity here.”
