Tuchel announces brand new Chelsea signing ‘is the perfect addition’

Thomas Tuchel believes new signing Kalidou Koulibaly will bring “personality” to the Chelsea dressing room.

The Senegalese central defender has joined from Napoli on a four-year deal worth around £35m to bolster the Blues’ defensive options.

The departures of Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger to Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively meant that Chelsea were desperate to add to that back-line and sign players that would make a difference

There was a feeling that the club would not be able to complete a deal for Koulibaly as Napoli had no desire to let him leave the club and were prepared to offer him a big new contract

However – we managed to convince Napoli into letting the powerhouse leave the club and Koulibaly was given the type of contract that makes him one of the very highest paid in the Premier League

And after seeing the powerhouse make the move to the club – Tuchel has opened up and revealed that Koulibaly will bring personality to the club – he said: “I am very happy about his signing and joining our team.

“It is now the second signing of the summer and again we have a strong player with a strong personality, big experience and in our point of view a perfect addition to our team.”

There have been some big players linked with a move to Stamford Bridge over the past few weeks and Koulibaly was one of them

He is easily one of the best defenders in the game and a player that will adapt easily to the quality of the Premier League – he really is a brilliant signing from the Blues board
