Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly may not only benefit Chelsea in the defensive sense as the Senegalese closes in on a £34million transfer switch.
The Blues have a big task on their hands to replace both Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen who departed for new La Liga challenges. Amid all the talk of Jules Kounde, Matthijs de Ligt and a few others, two defenders are now primed to take the mantle from the aforementioned duo.
On the 31-year-old himself, he is viewed in more of the mould of Rudiger with his leadership expertise. football.london understands that an agreement is close between Chelsea and Napoli in relation to a £34m deal that will see the Senegalese international sign a lucrative long-term contract in west London.
