Chelsea target Koulibaly: Premier League move would make me happy

Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly admits a move to the Premier League would be welcome.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte wants to reinforce his back line ahead of next year's Champions League campaign, says the Daily Star.

And Koulibaly has given the Italian manager a boost in the hopes of securing his signature.

Last night Senegal played Nigeria in a friendly at Barnet.

After the game, Koulibaly told talkSPORT: "It would make me happy to come and play here, but I now I have to go to Napoli.

"In the future you never know. Now I concentrate on my club and we will see next season what I have to do.

"I think I will stay in Napoli but you never know. I can't talk about it now. We will see."
