Koulibaly sends message to Arsenal with an audacious prediction for Chelsea
Kalidou Koulibaly has pledged to “create history” with Chelsea and dislodge Arsenal atop the Premier League standings.
On the weekend, the Gunners will face the Blues, who are sixth in the standings following a devastating loss at Brighton. The Gunners are 10 points ahead of the Blues.
In an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, Koulibaly discussed Arsenal’s early league lead: “It will be Chelsea at the end of the season, I want to write history here.”
Before joining Chelsea, the 31-year-old Senegalese defender confessed he sought counsel from club veterans Gianfranco Zola and Didier Drogba.

Thomas Tuchel was replaced by Graham Potter in the dugout, and now Koulibaly understands why he was warned to expect a rollercoaster ride at Stamford Bridge.
“This is the beauty of football,” he added. “I arrive with a coach who wanted me at all costs, and then he leaves.
“Both Tuchel and Potter play with the three-man defences, I was used to a four with Napoli.
“It’s another string to my bow, you never stop learning. I knew I was going to have a hard time, and that’s proved true. Even Zola and Drogba had anticipated that for me.”
