Manchester United & Chelsea target flattered to be linked with move

Kalidou Koulibaly’s admission that he is happy to be linked with the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea should be music to the ears of both Premier League clubs.

The Napoli defender has developed into one of the finest defenders in the world and his signing would undoubtedly be major coup for either side.

The 27-year-old told Rai Sport that he had no issue with being monitored by Europe’s big clubs and was eager to prove he was worthy of their attention.

“I am pleased that many teams follow me, but I want to demonstrate on the field that I am at the level of the greatest and I want to show it in the future,” he said.
