Wins the ball so high up the pitch🔥

Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti on Kalidou Koulibaly: “He really is remarkable. He always adds those two or three notches more than anyone else. He’s an extraordinary leader and a great man. We are what we do, not what we say.”

Carlo Ancelotti on Koulibaly when Carlo was Napoli manager:

"He’s the best in the world in his position. In my opinion, he’s worth £130m"

Regardless of age, we're still signing one of the best CB's in world football.
