Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly is set to join Chelsea on a long-term, according to multiple reports.

Despite the departures of Andreas Christensen, Antonio Rudiger and Romelu Lukaku, head coach Thomas Tuchel is still waiting to make his first addition of the summer transfer window.

The Premier League giants have been linked with numerous centre-backs, including Sevilla’s Jules Kounde and Juventus’ Matthijs de Ligt.

However, it has been widely suggested that Manchester City’s Nathan Ake is most likely to move to Stamford Bridge, returning for a second spell at the club.

In recent days, speculation has increased regarding the next move of Koulibaly with Chelsea known to want to bring another leadership figure into the group.

The Blues are allegedly prepared to meet the asking price of the Senegal international at a time when he has less than a year remaining on his contract.

According to French journalist Fabrice Hawkins, Chelsea are now closing in on wrapping up the transfer of the 31-year-old.

Hawkins says that Chelsea are ready to pay €40m (£33.91m) for Koulibaly, who is said to be ready to pen a three-year contract at the West Londoners.

He is a defender not an attacker.
It's a fair price for a classy player

Wen sallah, Nunez, halland or adama carry am run 2 times he will need an oxygen mask. Bros na premier league we dey talk ooo. That T. Silva over 30 did well does not mean he will too. This is an African player, wen they say they are 25years u need to add another 5years to get their real age.

I believe KK can give Chelsea 3 solid years!!!
He is an outstanding defender.

Do you watch football at all? Or you base your arguments on hear say?

Who told you KK can't run?

As a world class defender, your greatest strengths are: marking your lines/positioning; this will help you explore the areas of duels, interception, block etc.

I'm sure you rate Van Dijk high because you think He has speed?
