The transfer window truly appears to be kicking into action for Chelsea. Raheem Sterling has finally announced his departure from Manchester City, and the Blues could be set to complete two deals very swiftly with the pace of progress over Kalidou Koulibaly.
The Blues are confident a deal will be done for the Napoli defender as Thomas Tuchel looks to bring in replacements for Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, while the likes of Nathan Ake remain options to bring to Stamford Bridge.
Koulibaly has been a stalwart of Serie A and has been linked with a move to west London in various transfer windows over the last six years, and the 31-year-old now looks set to complete a move. The defender was not present for Napoli's first open session of the summer, and reports suggest an agreement between the Italian side and Chelsea could be made for in the region of £32 million.
