4 defenders Chelsea should target

Chelsea v Watford - Premier League
The Blues clearly need defensive reinforcements.

#3 Kalidou Koulibaly

SSC Napoli v FC Crotone - Serie A
Koulibaly physicality should help him settle in the Premier League.

The Senegalese international has made quite a name for himself due to his impressive performances for Napoli. Thus it is no wonder that he has been linked with many top teams across Europe.

Antonio Conte wanted him in his first season in charge at Chelsea and since then he has been constantly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.

He is 6'5 inches and possesses impressive physicality, which should help him adjust to the physical style of the Premier League. He is good with his feet and is an ariel threat as well inside the box.

Chelsea are clearly in need of such a physically imposing defender in their squad. Also, his technical abilities make him a complete defender as well. The former Genk defender has been consistent as well, something which only Azpilicuetta has shown in the Chelsea backline.

Napoli have reportedly named their price for their star man and are prepared to sell him. Also, he is just 26 and should a good long-term option for Chelsea.
