17-year-old Lago, the son of famous defender Thiago Silva, received his first call-up to the England U15 team at the beginning of this year. This was possible due to his residence in London since 2020, when his father transferred to Chelsea from the French Paris Saint-Germain. It is worth noting that Thiago Silva himself represented the Brazil national team 113 times, and his other son also plays in the Chelsea academy. Previously, Silva had repeatedly expressed his desire to end his career at his childhood club, but he also stated his wish to play in the last FIFA World Cup for him in 2026 and continue playing for a London club. Recently, the legendary defender said goodbye to his teammates at Brazilian Fluminense, and his son Lago from the Chelsea academy confirmed that his father wants to be close to his family, who resides in London.
