Conte: I wanted ‘one of the best defenders in the world’ Koulibaly at Chelsea

Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte has showered encomium on Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly, describing him as one of the best defenders in the world and revealed how he made an attempt to try and recruit him during his time at Chelsea.

The Italian tactician spent two years with the Blues and won the Premier League and FA Cup titles before leaving the side.
