Tuchel hopes Koulibaly follows in Thiago Silva's footsteps

Thomas Tuchel has spoken about Koulibaly's decision to move to Chelsea in the latter years of his career and applauds him for doing so.

“It’s nice that he takes the challenge right now. And we have Thiago Silva, who is even older and super-experienced and still at the peak of his game.

"We hope Koulibaly can do the same and play for many years for us. He is totally fit and ready for the challenge and he needs to be because we need him in top shape.”
