Kalidou Koulibaly song: Chelsea fans mocked for defender's chant

Kalidou Koulibaly had a very impressive debut for Chelsea.

The Senegalese defender was signed for around £33 million this summer in an attempt to fill the void left by Antonio Rudiger.

Some would say it’s a lot of money to spend on a 31-year-old. Those people probably haven’t watched the former Napoli man too closely.

Because, despite his advancing years, Koulibaly is still one of the best defenders in world football.

He showed that on Saturday evening as Chelsea triumphed 1-0 over Everton at Goodison Park.

And it seems he’s already a favourite amongst the fanbase.

That’s because the travelling away fans could be heard singing a new chant for the defender.

While Koulibaly will no doubt appreciate the chant, it’s fair to say the song hasn’t gone down well on social media.

Why?

Well, have a listen and you’ll soon know why…

Unsurprisingly, the chant is being slated online. Check out the best reaction:

Hopefully, in a few weeks, Chelsea fans will have given the new chant a bit more thought and perhaps changed the lyrics slightly.

After Chelsea announced the signing of Koulibaly last month, Thomas Tuchel couldn’t hide his delight.

“We followed him for many years,” he said. “Me personally and my staff followed him for many years and tried many times and were never successful because it is very hard to get players from Napoli, who are well known for the fact that they keep their squad together.
