Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Tottenham Hotspur star, Darren Bent has named Thiago Silva as Chelsea\u2019s most consistent player this season.<\/p>\n

According to him, the 35-year-old Brazil international does not bring his manager down whenever he is called upon.<\/p>\n

Not so much has been achieved by the Blues since the sacking of Thomas Tuchel by new owners led by Todd Boehly.<\/p>\n

The Blues have remained inconsistent under Graham Potter, only managing to score 20 times in 16 games.<\/p>\n

They are currently seven points adrift fourth-place with Potter trying different styles of play and using different players in different positions as he tries to build a team at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

Thiago Silva has remained solid in Chelsea\u2019s defence and is seen as the best player in the Blues\u2019 team this season alongside injured Reece James.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he [Graham Potter]is still trying to find that consistency in the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Thiago Silva is the only one who could hold his head up every single time he\u2019s been called upon and he has never let him down,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
