Koulibaly wrote in a heartfelt tweet: “It was an honor to wear this badge from my first game to my last.
Despite the fact that the 2017–18 season wasn’t what we had hoped for, I want to thank the club’s supporters and everyone for their help.
The Senegal skipper struggled to match his performances from his time at Napoli despite being one of the most notable signings of the new Chelsea era last year.
Koulibaly was one of the prominent players who made the decision to leave the club as Pochettino planned to reduce the size of a vast Chelsea squad.
