Kalidou Koulibaly spent seven seasons at Napoli becoming one of Europe's most dominant centre-backs — physically imposing, aggressive in the tackle, and composed enough in possession to suit Maurizio Sarri's demanding build-up demands. He was the cornerstone of Senegal's AFCON-winning side and has captained the Lions with authority. Now 35 and playing in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Hilal, the question is whether he retains the sharpness to perform at a World Cup against elite forwards. His leadership and reading of the game remain assets even as his physical peak recedes.
