Koulibaly told his new club’s official website:
“I’m very happy to be here with this team at Chelsea. It’s a big team in the world, and my dream was always to play in the Premier League.
“Chelsea first came to get me in 2016, but we didn’t quite make it. I accepted it when they came to me because they wanted me to come to the Premier League to play for them.”
