Kalidou Koulibaly takes brutal parting shot at Chelsea after leaving for Saudi Arabia

Kalidou Koulibaly has spoken out on his time with Chelsea, following his transfer to Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal, having failed to live up to expectations at Stamford Bridge.

The Senegalese defender was rated as one of the best centre-backs in Serie A before his transfer to Chelsea, but was part of a difficult season for the Blues as they finished 12th in the Premier League. His departure has seen his Blues career cut short, having made just 23 Premier League appearances during his time at Stamford Bridge.

Koulibaly was part of a £600 million spending spree at Stamford Bridge last season, with the record-breaking spend yielding limited results as chairman Todd Boehly was left admitting 'mistakes'. Koulibaly was handed a four-year deal upon his arrival but has lasted just a single season at the club.
