According to WhoScored, Chelsea defender Thiago Silva is the most accurate passer of the ball in the Premier League this season.

The Brazilian centre-back has completed 95 per cent of his passes for Chelsea, which is the best in the Premier League.

He has also completed the most long balls per game at Chelsea (6.3 long balls per game per Whoscored, joint-top with Kepa Arrizabalaga) and the third-most among Premier League outfield players.

Silva hasn’t just helped bring solidity to the Chelsea defence, his calmness on the ball has also been important for the team.
