Graeme Souness questions Kalidou Koulibaly's Premier League Chelsea credentials after Leeds

Graeme Souness has questioned Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly after a reckless moment in the Premier League vs Leeds United.

From putting in solid displays against Everton and Tottenham and even scoring in the London derby, Koulibaly was brought back to reality after a horror performance for Chelsea who fell to a shock defeat away to Jesse Marsch's side on Sunday. Familiar pitfalls from last season showed their head again in 2022/23. Whether it was a lack of clinical edge in front of goal, to not keeping composure after a slight setback, the bad Chelsea habits that have been ever-present under Thomas Tuchel and previously Frank Lampard continue to haunt Chelsea from making a real claim to be genuine contenders in the Premier League title race.

It's still very early in the season and the west Londoners, headed by Todd Boehly off the field, can turn to the transfer market to fix some problems that were evident at Elland Road amid talks to sign Wesley Fofana have taken a positive turn for the good. Chelsea will hope they can sign Fofana before the Leicester game so the current Foxes star could be in line to face his former side straight away and fill in Koulibaly temporarily at the same time for this game week 4 fixture.
