Aston Villa goalkeeper Pepe Reina has described Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly as the best defender he has played alongside at Napoli.
The two were teammates at Napoli for three seasons before Reina left for AC Milan. While he felt more comfortable having Koulibaly in front of him, Reina also feels the Senegal international's defensive partnership with Raul Albiol was “phenomenal” as they combined well to shield him.
“The defender who gave me more security? In a moment, Koulibaly was something extraordinary. In the national team [it was] Sergio Ramos,” said Koulibaly on Instagram Live as per TuttoMercatoWeb.
