The son of Thiago Silva has signed with Chelsea.

The Daily Star says the 36-year-old's switch to Stamford Bridge could prove to be a double bargain, with his son Iago having joined Chelsea's academy.

A video posted on Twitter by Thiago's wife shows how excited Iago is to be joining Chelsea, with clips of the youngster showing off his skills on the training ground.

Iago looks the spitting image of his dad, and Chelsea will hope he turns out to be just as talented.

The youngster holds a French passport.
