Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly has admitted he’s lucky to play with Brazilian defender Thiago Silva at Chelsea.

He said: “I would like to gain some experience from Thiago Silva.

“I am lucky to play with him. He is a really good defender, a legend in football. To do what he’s doing at 38 is amazing.”

Koulibaly joined Chelsea last summer from Napoli, signing a deal to 2026.
