Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly says leaving Napoli was the right decision this summer.
Koulibaly hasn’t found adjusting to the Premier League straightforward, and despite scoring on his home debut for Chelsea, he then saw red in the Blues defeat at Leeds.
Yet he says the decision to move from Serie A was a straightforward one, and he has no regrets in moving to Stamford Bridge.
He said: “You know, it’s a life choice. I wanted to change clubs. I felt like I’d given everything to Napoli. There came a point where I wanted to change life, challenge myself and throw myself into a new challenge.
“Chelsea arrived and it didn’t take long for me to choose. They’re one of the five best clubs in the world, with a great history; a team that’s used to winning.
“Therefore, I’ll never stop thanking them for what they gave me. Now, I felt it was time to discover something else.
“Signing with Chelsea was a very good thing for me. I’m very happy to be there. It was a bit tough at first, because I had to move eight years of my life to London. It’s something that’s quite hard.
“The need to find a school, get used to the London life. I arrived in London, where I found my house, the school for my kids. I’ve found my bearings, so I’m very happy.”
