Yoro is Chelsea’s long-term successor for Silva

Leny Yoro, a gifted young center-back for Lille, is reportedly attracting interest from Chelsea, according sources in the Evening Standard.

The 39-year-old Thiago Silva’s contract is set to expire in the summer, therefore the Blues are considering their defensive alternatives.

Yoro, who has been a France U21 international since last year, is eighteen years old and has made 34 appearances for Lille this season across all competitions.
