Kalidou Koulibaly completes move to Al Hilal from Chelsea
Kalidou Koulibaly has joined Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal after just one season at Chelsea. The Senegal defender has put pen to paper on a lucrative deal in the Middle East, bringing the curtain down on a short stay in England. He becomes Al Hilal's second high-profile signing this month after they added Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves to their ranks.

Koulibaly signed for Chelsea during the summer 2022 transfer window, widely seen as their successor to Antonio Rudiger after he joined Real Madrid. He quickly endeared himself to fans with a superb volley to open the scoring in a 2-2 draw with rivals Tottenham on the second weekend of the 2022/23 season. Injuries limited Koulibaly to only 23 Premier League Game s in his only campaign in England.
