Kalidou Koulibaly makes third consecutive Serie A Team of the Year

Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly has been honoured with a spot in the 2017-18 Serie A Team of the Year by the Italian Footballers' Association.

The centre-back was a regular fixture in the Partenopei's set-up that finished second behind Juventus in the Italian top-flight last season and has made his way into the annual selection for the third time in a row.

Koulibaly who made the outstanding team selection last year, returned five goals in 35 matches last season - his best league tally in his professional career.

His solid defensive work limited Napoli to just three losses as they kept 19 clean slates in the 2017-18 Serie A campaign.
