Terry hails Chelsea over new signing

Former Chelsea defender John Terry has hailed the Blues for signing a new defender in the person of Senegal international Kalidou Koulibali from Napoli.

This comes as the Blues on Saturday morning announced the signing of defender, Kalidou Koulibaly.

Koulibaly joined Chelsea from Serie A club, Napoli, after the completion of a €40million (£33.8m) deal.

He arrives at Chelsea at a time they need reinforcements at the back after the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen on free transfers to Real Madrid and Barcelona, respectively.

Reacting to the signing of Koulibaly, Terry penned a message to welcome the Senegal international to the West London club.

The former England star, who seems to have given Koulibaly his blessing to wear his No.26 shirt, also wished the centre-back good luck at Chelsea.

“Welcome to @chelseafc Good Luck mate ? 26 ?,” Terry commented on Chelsea’s Instagram post introducing the new signing.

Terry added on another Instagram post: “Top signing this is.”
