		</div><p>Kalidou Koulibaly has left Chelsea after only one season to join Saudi Professional League side Al-Hilal.</p>
<p>Senegal captain Koulibaly moved to England last summer from Napoli on a four-year deal in a transfer reported to be worth £34 million.</p>
<p>The centre-back went on to make 32 appearances for Chelsea during a difficult season, but has now departed Stamford Bridge.</p>
<p>A club statement read: “We would like to thank Kalidou for his contributions on and off the pitch during his time at Stamford Bridge and wish him well for the next stage of his career.”</p>
<p>Koulibaly is not the first Chelsea player to make the move to Saudi Arabia. N’Golo Kante agreed to join Al-Ittihad on a free transfer following the expiration of his deal with the Blues.</p>
<p>A number of high-profile names have moved to the Saudi Professional League during the past six months.</p>
<p>Karim Benzema has already agreed to join Al-Ittihad after 14 seasons at Real Madrid, following Cristiano Ronaldo who moved to Al Nassr from Manchester United in December.</p>
<p>Wolves captain Ruben Neves has also agreed a £47 million move to Al-Hilal.</p>
<p>After Koulibaly and Kante, Chelsea outcasts Edouard Mendy, Romelu Lukaku and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have also been linked with moves to the Gulf state.</p>
