Chelsea won't drop pursuit of Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly

Chelsea haven't dropped their pursuit of Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.

Koulibaly was reportedly on Chelsea's radar last summer and the Premier League champions are said to be interested in a move for the Napoli centre-back again this time around.

Calciomercato.com says that Antonio Conte's side are waiting in the wings with a €60million (£52.2m) move for the 25-year-old Senegalese international.

With Kurt Zouma linked with a loan move away from Stamford Bridge and John Terry's departure, Conte appears to be making defensive reinforcements one of his top priorities.
