Osimhen sends message to Koulibaly ahead of Napoli defender's imminent move to Chelsea

Victor Osimhen has sent his love to Kalidou Koulibaly ahead of the Napoli defender's imminent move to English Premier League giants Chelsea.

After the capture of Raheem Sterling from Manchester City, the Senegal captain is set to become Chelsea's next marquee signing and he has already announced his departure from Napoli, where he spent the last eight years of his career after transferring from Racing Genk.

Koulibaly was worshipped at Napoli and was deemed non-transferable, but with the centre-back in the last year of his contract, The Parthenopean were forced to accept a bid in the region of 40 million euros for the French-born defender.

Osimhen was linked with a plethora of Premier League clubs in his final season at Lille but it was Koulibaly that convinced the Nigerian to choose Napoli over his other suitors.

The Super Eagles star looks destined to join the Senegalese in the Premier League in future.

In an emotional statement on Instagram on Friday, Koulibaly confirmed his departure from Napoli, adding that it was time to move on and time for a new adventure.

Below is Osimhen's message to Koulibaly as he replied to the Instagram post :
