Kalidou Koulibaly makes three-word Chelsea promise ahead of Premier League clash with Tottenham

Kalidou Koulibaly has insisted "we are ready" when talking about his new Chelsea side's hopes against Tottenham. The 31-year-old defender made his Premier League debut for the Blues at the weekend in their 1-0 win at Everton.

Koulibaly impressed in his first outing in the top-flight at Goodison Park following his £33.8million move from Napoli. The Senegal international showed glimpses of why Thomas Tuchel pursued a move for his services and how he can be a more than adequate replacement for Antonio Rudiger.

"[It] was a tough game, hard game," Koulibaly told Chelsea's official website, when speaking about the 1-0 win at Everton. "It was a bit difficult because I wasn't used to the rhythm but I tried to do my best. We won the game so I was happy to win it. I am looking forward."
