Cesc Fabregas was sledged by a steward

 

Chelsea have made an approach to Thiago Silva's representatives.

The PSG captain is contracted to the club until 2018 but according to Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb, the Premier League champions are interested in the 31-year-old.

Silva has won three Ligue 1 titles, the French League Cup twice and a French Cup since arriving in 2012.

Ahead of Sunday's clash with Arsenal at the Emirates, skipper John Terry has lavished praise on former team-mate Petr Cech.

He told the Evening Standard: “Petr has shown this season that he is still one of the best in the world let alone in the Premier League. 

“I said from the start that he will give Arsenal points in the title race. That is what he has done and he will continue to do so. 

“I have huge respect for him as a player and as a man. I have shared the dressing room with him for many years and won an awful lot of trophies with him. 

“Obviously we want to continue winning things here at Chelsea but I wish him well and I hope he continues his great form.”

 

A Chelsea steward has been sacked after video footage emerged of him calling Cesc Fabregas a "snake".

The clip shows the steward telling the midfielder: "You're a snake, you're Arsenal," as he was leaving Stamford Bridge earlier this season.

Fabregas spent seven years at Arsenal and made 503 appearances before leaving in 2011 to join Barcelona.

He returned to the Premier League in 2014 with Chelsea, helping them win the title in his debut season.
