How does Kalidou Koulibaly contrast with Chelsea stars and Big Six stalwarts?
It shocked no one that Chelsea were hoping to sign another protector this mid year, given the absence of choices accessible to Thomas Tuchel. As has been the standard in the beginning of Todd Boehly, they have moved rapidly to enroll.
The Stamford Bridge club has wrapped up a move for Napoli sturdy Kalidou Koulibaly, with the arrangement worth £34million.
Koulibaly accompanies a heavenly standing and had been connected with other top clubs in England previously, with Chelsea fans currently considering what he'll bring.
His measurements from last season show that Chelsea have handled an impressive presence both on the ground and in the air - and they may not be finished there with regards to cautious fortifications, by the same token.
After Nathan Ake chose to remain at Manchester City, Chelsea will allegedly resuscitate their advantage in Sevilla star Jules Kounde.
It has been fundamental for the Blues to enlist a small bunch of new faces at the back, considering that Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen have previously left on free exchanges.
Tuchel was left short after their ways out, in spite of the fact that his positions will be reinforced soon enough.
Cesar Azpilicueta, set to join Barcelona in a £7m move, has been informed he can't leave Stamford Bridge until guarded fortifications have been agreed upon. If he somehow happened to leave, Chelsea would enter the new season with a totally different looking safeguard.
Koulibaly, close by the carefully prepared veteran Thiago Silva, will without a doubt be at the core of this undertaking. He was at any point present for Napoli last term when fit, and has significantly more experience than the people who might hope to equal his situation.
First and foremost, we will take a gander at how his numbers stack facing the club's ongoing choices - specifically, Silva, Trevoh Chalobah and Malang Sarr. The last two players procured less game time last year, so it merits remembering that this will influence the discoveries.
As far as appearances, Koulibaly made 34 across all contests, not as much as Silva's 48 yet more than the 30 and 21 of Chalobah and Sarr separately. Intriguingly, he likewise began each of these matches, subordinate his significance to the Serie A side.
From the games he highlighted in, Napoli yielded 32 objectives, four not exactly the 36 transported by Chelsea with Silva in their side. Once more, the distinction in matches played becomes possibly the most important factor, however the reality Koulibaly let in under an objective each game is eminent.
Chalobah and Sarr surrendered 13 and 16, maybe because of their restricted minutes.
For handles, Koulibaly dominates the competition with 53. Behind him are Chalobah on 52, Silva on 46 and Sarr with 26. The champ's tackle achievement rate remains at a good 56.6, however this is overshadowed by Silva's 69.6 and Chalobah's 71.2.
As displayed over, the Blues' fresh debut is serious areas of strength for additionally the air, and is no more bizarre to hurling himself entirely into blocks and interferences. He has been beaten in both these regions, in any case, by Silva - whose numbers last season were extraordinary.
Another perspective essential to the style of play under Tuchel is assuredness ready, and sharp direction. This, just, rotates around when a player chooses a more limited choice to develop from the back, or rather chooses to crush it downfield.
Koulibaly recorded 106 clearances last season, with Silva enrolling 131. For passing, the previous made 2088, a figure well beneath the 3702 of the last option. As a disclaimer, this measurement is directed intensely by how every one of the groups utilizes the ball.
At long last, for passing exactness, Koulibaly's rate comes in at 87, while Silva's is 92.7. Chalobah and Sarr's sums are 89.8 and 88.7, exhibiting obviously that the protector ready to pull on the club's well known shirt should stay made.
In rundown for the main table, the outcomes show that Koulibaly is prepared to prepare himself well to the afflictions of the Premier League, regardless of whether Silva frequently trump him.
Helpfully, for additional specific circumstance, Sportsmail has likewise contrasted Koulibaly with the best of the rest; the champion safeguards from the other Big Six clubs in the first class.
For this, we have chosen Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip of Liverpool, Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte of Manchester City, Arsenal's Gabriel Magalhaes, Tottenham's Cristian Romero and Manchester United's Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane.
Once more, how much minutes played by every one of the names above should be thought about, with Van Dijk specifically at any point present for his club last season.
This additionally slants the minutes per objective surrendered measurement, however there are still a lot of prominent discoveries. Koulibaly, as made sense of above, midpoints 94.9 minutes between objectives, a normal of north of one entire match, and positions profoundly in the underneath table.
He is better by Van Dijk's 140 minutes, while Laporte (113), Matip (123.5) and Dias (99.7) likewise top his endeavors. Manchester City and Liverpool will generally go after more than they guard, however, while Napoli commonly went under more tension last year.
In the spotless sheet segment, Koulibaly's 12 is again widely appealing. Van Dijk has 28, while Matip on 19, Laporte on 17 and Dias on 13 put them in front of him. Chelsea's new man really does easily beat the excess four competitors, in any case.
Koulibaly's 53 handles last season is the second most noteworthy in the table, behind the 59 made by the contentious Matip. Once more, this could be impacted by the way that Napoli set out their slow down, yet this is an accomplishment that will absolutely satisfy Tuchel.
It merits bringing up, however, that Koulibaly's tackle achievement rate, 56.6 percent, is the second most reduced - with everybody bar Laporte bettering his figure the year before.
For aeronautical duels won, while Koulibaly's count isn't one for his new chief to disapprove of, his number is beaten by a few of his first class equals. Van Dijk won 185 in the air and Matip got done with 140, with both of these numbers bettering 58.
An output down the blocks and captures segments shows that, in the two regions, Koulibaly has a lot to bring to his new group. He positions second for the primary classification, and fourth for the second - again demonstrating he has an overall game in his stockpile.
One region requiring improvement is being spilled past by an adversary. That happened to Koulibaly multiple times last season, generally once every two games, and, while that doesn't sound poor, others in the Premier League have stood firmer.
Via examination, Van Dijk was spilled past only multiple times, with the second most noteworthy sum, behind that of Koulibaly, coming from Romero's 13. Maguire, who was highly censured by United allies for his portability, was bamboozled multiple times.
At long last, there are no main issues in the passing division. As made sense of above, Koulibaly has exhibited that he is adroit under lock and key, as is important in the cutting edge period of the first class, and his numbers sit pleasantly close by his companions.
