Kalidou Koulibaly is pleased to have completed his transfer from Serie A club Napoli to Chelsea FC, and the Senegal defender has expressed his desire to ‘give some good moments to the fans.’

The 31-year-old signed a four-year deal with the West London club as he becomes the second signing of the Todd Beohly era following the signing of Raheem Sterling.

It is believed the fee for the Senegalese is reported to be between £30-£33m.

‘I’m very happy to be here with this team at Chelsea,’ said Koulibaly. ‘It’s a big team in the world and my dream was always to play in the Premier League. Chelsea came first to get me in 2016 but we didn’t make it.

‘I want to thank the fans because I saw a lot of them in London and on the plane everybody was happy for me to be here. So I want to thank them and I hope the season will be really good and we will give some good moments to the fans.’
