New Chelsea signing, Kalidou Koulibaly has come out to say that he held talks with Edouard Mendy and Jorginho prior to joining the club. He recently revealed this while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Jorginho actually texted him to know if he would be joining the Blues this summer, but he was not sure about his decision at the time even if he was very open to the idea.
Koulibaly added that he hopes to be able to use his experience to help his teammates, especially the youngsters.
His words, “I speak a lot with them [Jorginho and Mendy] both. Jorgi actually texted me and asked if I wanted to come to Chelsea!,”
“At the time, I wasn’t sure if they wanted me but of course, I said I would come with pleasure. It was the same with Edou, he asked me the question and I told him it was already done and I would see him soon!
“Now I’m here, I’m really happy to start this exciting journey. The squad looks great with a good mix of younger players and those with more experience.”
“Well, I hope to give my experience to all the guys to help them, especially the younger players,”
“I played for eight seasons in Napoli, I’ve played in the Champions League and in some important games and now I want to learn about the Premier League and give my best.
“I know that the Premier League is very fast and physical but it is also tactical, so it’s something I will have to adapt to quickly and to improve myself to be the player the coach wants. I will give him and the team everything he wants from me.”
