Chelsea have secured the future of one of their brightest academy prospects as Isago Silva, son of the club legend Thiago Silva, officially signal his first professional contract.

The 16-year-old defender has been steadily rising through the youth ranks and is now seen as one of the most promising left-footed centre-backs in the academy setup.

Isago, who stands at 178cm, joined Chelsea at U13 level and has since matured into a key figure for the U18s.

His achievements include winning the U15 Premier League Super Cup in 2024 and maintaining a consistent presence in the club’s youth squads. Coaches describe him as composed, intelligent, and tactically advanced for his age.

The teenager’s progression mirrors the path of his father, giving Chelsea fans another reason to follow his journey closely.

With his versatility across CB and LB roles, the club believes Isago has the potential to develop into a first-team option in the coming years. The Silva lineage continues to shine at Stamford Bridge.
