New Chelsea signing Kalidou Koulibaly has revealed why he chose to join the Blues this summer window

Koulibaly is a player that was linked with the Premier League for the last few transfer window – but Napoli have never wanted to sell one of the very best defenders in world football right now

However – with his contract running down at the end of next season and the fact he was not going to sign a new contract – we managed to swoop in and agree a £40 million deal with the Italians – a real summer bargain

And Koulibaly has not opened up and revealed that he did not even hesitate about joining the club when they came calling again this summer: He said: “I spent eight years in Napoli, everyone knew me there and we were happy living in Naples.

“After eight years, I felt it was time for a new challenge and as soon as Chelsea called, I didn’t hesitate.

“It almost happened before in 2016 but now, in 2022, I’m delighted to be here.”

Koulibaly established himself as one of the very best central defenders in Italian football – impressed in the Champions League and is one of the best in the game right now

But the Premier League will be his toughest test yet as it has made even the superstar players look ordinary – he needs to not underestimate the quality of the English game

We do believe that he will be a massive signing for the club and that we have done some wonderful business – but the Premier League is not the Italian League – every game he needs to give 100 per cent
