Football ethusiasts have welcomed the transfer speculations linking Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly with a summer move to Chelsea.
Reports emerged that Koulibaly is being considered as an option to replace Antonio Rudiger who is bound to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.
A section of the fans are excited about the partnership the Senegal international would strike with Brazil’s Thiago Silva at the centre of the defence.
Koulibaly who joined Napoli in 2014, is set to enter the final year of his contract and he could leave the club for a reported £30 million fee.
If Chelsea want not only an elite level defender, but an experienced leader, we should look no further than Kalidou Koulibaly… pic.twitter.com/ysczPlfDPY

Rudiger is already gone to Madrid and remember he’s a free agent while Koulibaly is still under contract with Chelsea likely to sign him

Koulibaly is 30. I wouldn’t mind having him at Chelsea to partner Silva in a four man defence.

Koulibaly is a great option for Chelsea next season. Cheap, experienced and a very good defender. pic.twitter.com/G8904mvT2h
