Chelsea boss Antonio Conte identifies top transfer target: He will cost £47.8m
CHELSEA boss Antonio Conte has reportedly made Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly one of his main summer transfer target.
The Senegalese defender was linked with a move to Stamford Bridge last summer.
But a deal with the Serie A failed to materialise and David Luiz was resigned from Paris Saint Germain on deadline day.

Luiz has been among the best defenders in the Premier League this season.
But Conte still appears to be keen on strengthening his defence.
Chelsea wanted Kalidou Koulibaly last summer
And according to Tutto Mercato Web, the Italian wants to renew his interest in Koulibaly at the end of the season.
It is claimed it may cost as much as £47.8million (55m euros) to convince Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis to sell.
And in September Koulibaly signed a five-year contract extension tying him to the club until 2021.
