  Thiago Silva: PSG signing Sergio Ramos made me sad  The Brazilian was let go by the Ligue 1 side last year and has acknowledged that he has been left hurt by the call to bring in the Spain star Thiago Silva has admitted that Paris Saint-Germain's decision to sign Sergio Ramos has left him "truly sad," after he was not offered a similar deal despite the duo being close in age. Former Real Madrid captain Ramos is one of a number of high-profile signings at Parc des Princes this summer, as the Ligue 1 side look to cement their hopes of a successful European challenge. Yet Silva, who is entering his second year at Chelsea following his PSG exit last term, has admitted that while has no issue with Ramos, the club's call to sign the Spain star rankles given his own long service - and sharp release - from the French side. What has been said? "I have nothing against Sergio Ramos, but Sergio, at the time at which they offered him a two-year contract, was the same age as...

Image
  Romelu Lukaku has a point to prove following his sensational return to Chelsea, 10 years after he first signed for the Premier League giants. R. Lukaku Since the Premier League introduced squad numbers in 1993, 15 different players have donned the No.9 shirt for Chelsea – and remarkably few have been successful. The shirt has become somewhat ‘cursed’, with players tending to struggle at the club while wearing it, despite their collective £170.5million in transfer fees. We’ve taken a look at each player and ranked them for their contributions during their time wearing nine at Stamford Bridge. 15. Radamel Falcao After an unsuccessful season on loan at Manchester United, Falcao was given another chance to prove himself to the English audience with Chelsea in 2015-16.
