Tottenham emerge as possible destination for Koulibaly

 

Tottenham have emerged as a possible destination for Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly, according to renowned football agent Gianluca Di Marzio. 

 

The Senegal international is held in high regard by a host of Europe's elite teams, with Manchester United, Chelsea and PSG all credited with an interest in the Napoli ace. 

 

Newcastle are surprise contenders for the 28-year-old, and according to Di Marzio, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has a good relationship with the player's agents, heightening speculation over a possible summer switch to London. 

 

"Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly could be one of their most important targets. There is a very good feeling between his agents and the Tottenham chairman," Di Marzio told Sky Sports in a Q&A on Tuesday evening. 

 

"I think Koulibaly will leave Napoli this summer. Only last summer, Napoli signed Kostas Manolas who is a similar player to Koulibaly and then they got another defender in, Amir Rrahmani from Verona. 

 

"Napoli have been thinking to the future without Koulibaly. A couple of years ago, they would not have been open to the idea of Koulibaly leaving.

"But the last year was not his best for Napoli, so I think this could be the right moment for him to leave. 

 

"As well as Tottenham, Carlo Ancelotti wants him at Everton. His agents have very strong contacts within the Premier League clubs. 

 

"So, I think the percentage that Koulibaly could arrive in the Premier League is very high."
