The defender, who stands at 6ft 3in tall already at such a young age, is currently playing for Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga in Germany.

But it appears that he is attracting some strong interest from a number of top European clubs already after a breakthrough season.

Coulibaly already plays for the Germany U21 national side, and I am sure it wont be long before we see him added into the senior Germany squad.

Chelsea looking at Coulibaly

Sky Germany report that Chelsea are showing concrete interest in Coulibaly. They go as far as saying that The Blues have already made contact with the player’s representatives, but no talks have yet taken place between the clubs.

So, with contact made, you’d imagine that this is serious interest and Chelsea will soon be getting in touch with his club to see if something is possible.

Chelsea academy star Ryan Kavuma-McQueen made his debut for the club against Port Vale at the weekend, and he has since been compared with academy graduate Callum Hudson-Odoi, who is of course now at Nottingham Forest.
