John Terry has clearly been buoyed by reports linking Thiago Silva with a move to Chelsea judging by his latest reaction to the speculation.
PSG defender Silva confirmed after his side's Champions League final defeat to Bayern Munich that it was his last game for the club and that he would move on this summer.
Chelsea look to be the front runners for his signature as talks suggest the Brazilian will put pen to paper on a one-year deal at Stamford Bridge.
Frank Lampard has been seeking defensive reinforcements for his squad after their notable issues at the back last season.
The Blues have been lacking a dominant centre-half of Silva's ilk arguably since Terry departed the club in 2017.
And it appears the former Blues skipper is a fan of his old club's approach for Silva after liking a post on social media showing the 35-year-old mocked up in a Chelsea kit.
The post from Instagram account 433 read: "Thiago Silva says goodbye to PSG after 8 years and 23 trophies. His move to Chelsea is almost done."
Terry wasn't the only person to like it either, as Chelsea youngster Billy Gilmour also showed his appreciation.
While Silva is yet to announce his decision on his future, the veteran clearly leaves PSG with a heavy heart - though did hint at a possible return in the years to come.
"This was my last match at PSG. I am sad," he told French outlet RMC Sport after the final. "I apologise to the supporters. I want to thank all the fans for their love.
"I will come back to PSG… I want to play for three or four more years and be at the World Cup in Qatar."
Meanwhile Chelsea have no plans to curb their spending as reports state they have agreed a deal which would see them break their transfer record to sign Kai Havertz.
Talks with Bayer Leverkusen are said to have reached a conclusion for the forward, who is poised to complete a switch worth an initial £80m, potentially rising to £100m.
Leicester's Ben Chilwell could also arrive in the next week with reports suggesting Chelsea are close to tying up a £50m deal.

When even the best defender in the clubs history likes a post regarding a player, that player is the real deal. Our back line has needed experience and leadership, Thiago Silva can be the guy that brings that to the club. I'm all for this deal I've shed any skepticism from my mind in regard to his age some footballers like Silva dont even feel the effects of age at their late careers. The perfect signing for short term to being that desired leadership and organisation to the back line. Now all that's left is literally a new keeper that can command his lines. Pope or Onana for me either would cos around like 30 million.

Chelsea don't really need Silver for long we just need: 1. His experience even he might be on the bench and still the defence will still be organised 2. Experience defender helps GK to improve they know the weakness of keeper and tries to cover up and encourage GK 3. Chelsea for long lack defence leadership after Terry departure there was no defence organisation and compactness. Only experience can do that not just been good you can be a good defender like ( Rudigar, Zouma, Christiansen, Tomori and all Chelsea defenders) but when there's no experience player that can read game skill alone can't get the job done. 4. it's a free transfer what a bonus even if it's for a season or 2 seasons Conclusion: all we need as Chelsea fan is to support our management and coach no matter who comes in and goes out and am sure next season will be 🔥🔥🔥

people saying Chelsea let Willian because he is 32 and was requesting for 3yrs while Chelsea only offered him 2yrs forgot to add that side that says he is demanding for pay rise upon the 150k a week that he earns already at the club. he went to arsenal not only because they offered him the 3yrs but because they gave him a massive pay rise of 220k a week and you know the rest. meanwhile Thiago Silva was on 1.6m a year but he took a huge pay cut to work with the manager and for the club. he will be earning 104k as per week at Chelsea now... I think that this go maybe small or a long way to prove to arsenal fans what went between that they are not talking about since.. and for defenders age is just a number because they will sometimes relax at the back while the attackers do the work upfront... unlike attackers that will have to be running the whole minutes... #KTBFFH
