Defender Kalidou Koulibaly's time at Stamford Bridge has come to an end after just one season following his move from Napoli.
The Senegal international racked up 32 appearances for the Blues, who secured a disappointing 12th-placed finish in the Premier League.

"Kalidou Koulibaly has left Chelsea after completing a permanent transfer to Saudi Professional League side Al-Hilal," the club said in a statement.
"The centre-back arrived from Napoli last summer and made 32 appearances for the Blues during his sole campaign at Stamford Bridge.
"The 32-year-old made his debut away at Everton and marked his first home game with a fantastic volley against Tottenham Hotspur. His other Chelsea goal also came in a London derby, away to Fulham.
"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."
