NAPOLI star Kalidou Koulibaly has arrived in London to complete his medical ahead of his £34million move to Stamford Bridge.
Koulibaly is set to become the Blues' second signing of the summer after Raheem Sterling, who arrived from Manchester City for £50m.
The centre-back flew out with his agent Fali Ramadani from Milan’s Linate Airport in a private jet and landed in London on Wednesday evening.
The Senegal international is expected to have his medical today before penning a five-year contract, with the option of a further year, that will see him earn £300,000 per week.
If everything goes well, the 31-year-old will then have to complete his paperwork before flying out to the US and link up with his new team-mates for pre-season.
A decision will have to be made on whether the Senegalese star meets Thomas Tuchel and the rest of the squad in Los Angeles or Las Vegas.
