Chelsea Signs 17-Year-Old Isago Silva to First Professional Deal

Overview

• Chelsea announced on Monday that academy defender Isago Silva has signed his first professional contract.
• The club highlighted his development as a versatile, reliable option at centre-back and left-back.
• He remained in England to continue his development after Thiago Silva returned to Brazil with Fluminense in 2024.
• Silva advanced from under-16s to an under-18 debut in February and was registered on the Champions League List B, though he has yet to make a senior matchday squad.
• His parents marked the milestone on social media, and his 14-year-old brother Iago recently trained with England's under-15s.
