Kalidou Koulibaly’s first day in London should end with his departure for the States to join his new team, Chelsea. Arrived late yesterday, the next former Napoli defender underwent medical examinations with the team coached by Tuchel, with whom he is about to sign a four-year contract worth 10 million euros per season, with Blues and Napoli having found an agreement on the basis of 40 million.

The 31-year-old captain of Senegal is the second summer signing of the new American management of Chelsea, preceded by the arrival of Raheem Sterling from Manchester City. Long on Tuchel’s radar, Koulibaly is that defensive dam Chelsea were looking for after Rudiger’s departure. And it may not be the only one, given that the Blues always have an open channel with City for Ake and with PSG for Presnel Kimpembe, who according to the English press also liked Juve. Leaving Naples, Koulibaly is ready for the new adventure with Chelsea: he could make his debut as early as in the friendly on July 20 that the Blues will play in the USA against Charlotte.
