With his enormous ability as well as experience, he would be a huge asset to Thomas Tuichel's side. During his time at the Naples club, Koulibaly was named in the Serie A 'Team of the Year' on four occasions and was also named the 'Best Defender' in Italy in 2019.

If the Blues manage to sign both Ake and Kimpembe even after getting Koulibaly, Tuchel will have as many as six options at the heart of the defense.
