Liverpool leading the race to sign Everton target Kalidou Koulibaly

Liverpool are reportedly leading the race to sign Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly in the summer transfer window.

Napoli are willing to sell the defender this summer and the Reds are leading the race to sign him in a €50million (£42m) deal.

The Senegal defender has been linked with a move away from Napoli in recent years but he has failed to seal a move away from Serie A.

His contract is due to expire next summer. As a result, this window represents the final opportunity for Napoli to get a significant fee for him before they risk losing him for nothing.
