Report claims Chelsea are in contact with agent of world class defender

The names are continuing to be linked with Chelsea as we enter the third day of the winter transfer window being open.

And finally there are links to a player whom Chelsea fans have been calling for in the shape of world class centre back Kalidou Koulibaly.

A report via Corriere del Mezzogiorno’s Campania edition, the area where Naples is the capital, has claimed that both Chelsea and Tottenham have been in contact with the agent of Koulibaly over a potential £100 million transfer, as translated by The Daily Star.

The Napoli defender fits the profile of the exact type of influential and dominating centre back that Chelsea really need right now in my opinion, and a move would be a massive show of intent from the club.

The 28-year old Senegalese international brings you experience and pure quality into an area where Frank Lampard has seen inconsistencies and has constantly changed his centre back pairing.
