Kalidou Koulibaly has been spotted in Milan ahead of a medical, with Chelsea close to signing the 31-year-old. The centre-back has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge for the best part of five-years and, amid an increasingly uncertain future at Napoli, the Blues look set to finally secure their long-term target.
football.london understand Chelsea are very confident that the transfer of Koulibaly will be completed once the final details have been confirmed. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues have had a €40million (£34m) bid accepted by the Italian giants, with the defender set to pen a long-term contract at club.
It's believed that the Senegal international will fly to Los Angeles tonight to complete his medical before joining up with the Chelsea squad on the pre-season tour. Though contrary reports have said that Koulibaly is flying to England this evening before undergoing the first instalment of his medical tomorrow.
