The Chelsea football club's continued search for defensive reinforcement appears to be receiving approval as the team nears finalizing a deal to sign Kaliduo Koulibaly from Napoli.
The imposing center back has been chosen by the blues to fill the void left by Antonio Rudiger, who left for Real Madrid on a free transfer at the end of the previous season. This is according to Daily Mail News.
According to Instagram photographs, Kaliduo Koulibaly is the player Chelsea wants to transfer the most.
As preseason training is well under way across Europe, the Senegalese captain, who plays for the same club as Edouard Mendy, will be eager to settle his future.
According to Instagram pictures, Kaliduo Koulibaly might be the person to succeed the late Antonio Rudiger.
Ngolo Kante, a master of the Chelsea midfield, is being pursued by Arsenal. However, the midfielder only has two years left on his contract, and with Conor Gallagher's rise, Chelsea may think about selling him this summer.

Raheem Sterling's transfer from Manchester City to Chelsea has already been finalized, and an announcement is about to come.
Raheem Sterling is expected to be Chelsea's first acquisition of the summer.
The new Chelsea ownership made a statement by signing Sterling in an effort to end Liverpool and Manchester City's dominance of English football the following season.
However, after Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen left for Real Madrid and Barcelona, respectively, and Chelsea's most recent attempt to add defensive reinforcements, Blues fans have praised the move on social media.
After negotiations with Manchester City accelerated this week, Chelsea is reportedly in advanced talks to sign Dutch center defender Nathan Ake.
Chelsea is nearing a deal to acquire Nathan Ake.
The Dutchman, who Chelsea sold to Bournemouth for £20 million in the summer of 2017, is the subject of a deal Thomas Tuchel hopes to complete.
Man City estimates the value of their young Dutchman at roughly £41 million, but the club doesn't anticipate that cost to be a problem.
This summer window, Chelsea has been connected to more than eight center backs, including Matthijs De Ligt, a standout for Juventus and a Dutchman similar to Ake.
The Dutchman is rumored to want a transfer to Bayern Munich, though.
