Kalidou Koulibaly “used to be hesitant, but Napoli are making him a defender of a high level,” said his former Coach at Metz.

Dominique Bijotat worked with the Senegal international in 2010.

“I wasn’t sure he’d be able to achieve this career,” confessed Bijotat to France Football.

“He was still hesitant and every little error would affect him for the rest of the game. Now he has grown, above all on a technical level, but his characteristics remain the same.

Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis revealed he turned down a €50m offer for Koulibaly from Chelsea.
