Kalidou Koulibaly believes he will show Graham Potter he deserves to play a part in his new regime at Chelsea.
The Senegalese defender arrived in a £34million deal from Napoli over the summer, billed as the ideal replacement for the outgoing Antonio Rudiger, who left Stamford Bridge to join Real Madrid.
Koulibaly's experience was seen as key by then Blues boss Thomas Tuchel, but the 31-year-old has taken time to adjust to the Premier League and has since seen Tuchel removed from his post and replaced by Graham Potter.
