Kalidou Koulibaly

Senegal international Kalidou Koulibaly has completed his move to Chelsea, the club has confirmed.

Kalidou Koulibaly is the second player to join Chelsea this summer! The defender arrives from Napoli and has signed a four-year deal at Stamford Bridge.

Koulibaly, captain of the Senegal national team, is widely regarded as one of the best centre-backs in world football.

He is a great reader of the game, a goal threat, and also adept in possession, comfortable bringing the ball out or playing progressive passes to put his team on the attack.

He is very comfortable playing in a back three and also a back four, as shown during his eight year stay at Napoli.

He has plenty of experience challenging for domestic and international titles and joins the Blues ahead of the 2022/23 campaign aiming to do just that.

Welcome to Chelsea.
