The Senegal international joined Chelsea in a €40 million (£33.8m) deal from Napoli in the summer.

Koulibaly was integral to Napoli’s success during his eight seasons with the Italian club, and helped Chelsea keep a clean sheet in their 3-0 victory over AC Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.
