Jorginho has backed new Chelsea signing Kalidou Koulibaly to be the perfect replacement for Antonio Rudiger. The Blues recently signed the Senegal international for £33.8million from Napoli with Thomas Tuchel looking to build a new-look defence.
Koulibaly, who could make his debut for Chelsea tomorrow morning in the Blues' final pre-season friendly in America against Arsenal, has been brought to Stamford Bridge to replace Antonio Rudiger, who joined Real Madrid on a free transfer recently. Jorginho, who played with Koulibaly at Napoli in the past, has plenty of confidence in the new Chelsea centre-back.
Asked about the role he had in bringing Koulibaly to Chelsea, Jorginho said: "I was just a friend talking to him saying let's play together again. I used to play with you, it's been a long time, come on, let's play together again."
