Kalidou Koulibaly has become Chelsea’s second summer signing after flying out to the US to meet up with his new team-mates.
Koulibaly has joined the Blues on a four-year contract after Napoli agreed to a £33.8million (€40m) deal for the 31-year-old. He follows Raheem Sterling, who has already joined in a £50m deal from Manchester City. The Senegal international underwent a medical in London on Thursday and has now flown out to Las Vegas to join up with Thomas Tuchel and his squad, who are preparing to play Mexican side Club America on Sunday.
He will reinforce the centre of Chelsea ’s defence following the significant losses of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, who left on free transfers to join Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively. Koulibaly arrives at Stamford Bridge with lots of experience, having made 317 appearances for Napoli since a £6.5m move from Belgian side Genk in 2014.
