Chelsea owner Todd Boehly admits Kalidou Koulibaly was a signing that could not handle the Premier League.
The veteran center half arrived near the start of Boehly's tenure for a mega fee from Napoli.
However, he was sold last summer to the Saudi Pro League in an attempt to get his wages off the books.
Per The Mirror, Boehly said: "There's no bigger sport in the world.
“When you think about just the size and scale of European football, it's just mind-numbing and there's no better league in the world in the Premier League. If you look at how these guys play, the speed with which they play the game.
"One of my players who I had a great relationship with is Kalidou Koulibaly. Koulibaly came over from Serie A (where he played for Napoli) and he told me one time, 'In Serie A, I get to think and then run but in the Premier League, I have to run while I think, and I'm still adjusting to that'."

CHELSEA AND HIGH INJURY LIST. In the current season which is about to end at the end of this month May 2024, Chelsea has the highest number of injuries, totalling 54 , followed by Newcastle with 36 injuries,while the League leaders Manchester City has 14 injuries during the current season! The main reason why Chelsea records the highest number of injuries is that the current signings of players DO NOT SEEM TO HAVE THE RIGHT PHYSIQUE AS FOOTBALL PLAYERS! IN FACT, MOST OF THE CURRENT PLAYERS ARE WEAKLINGS, TO SAY THE LEAST! In yesteryears, Chelsea had players like Didier Drogbah, Michael Essien, Nicholas Anelca, Michael Ballack, Frank Lampard, John Terry, etc who have ROBUST Physiques to play football which is essentially A CONTACT SPORT! Look at the current robust Manchester City players compared to the weaklings passing as Chelsea football players.! Future recruitments must ensure that Chelsea players have the right physique for football players to avoid unnecessary injuries like what we witness this season,
You nailed it. But in addition to your observations, many of the players are inexperienced, e.g, Jackson. The number of goals Jackson missed this season is enough to give us the Champions League qualification.
