Chelsea defender Koulibaly accepts Al Hilal contract offer

Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly is set for a move to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia.

The stopper arrived from Napoli in a big money deal less than a year ago.

However, Koulibaly endured a miserable first season in the Premier League as Chelsea finished in the bottom half of the table.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano tweeted: "Understand Al Hilal are now closing in on Kalidou Koulibaly deal, here we go!

"Verbal agreement reached with Chelsea.

"Personal terms also agreed on a three year contract — he'll join Ruben Neves.

"Contracts now being checked… and then signed."
