Faouzi Ghoulam plays for Italian side Napoli in Serie A as a left back. The Algerian international is 28 years old and since his arrival from Saint Etienne, he has been a regular for Napoli.

Ghoulam had endured an injury prone last year but it seems like he has returned to full fitness and is ready to remind Naples and the rest of Italyhow good he is.

The former Saint-Etienne defender's overall game is excellent. He is good at crossing, passing, holding on the ball, key passes and ariel duels as well. His defensive game may not be as good as his attacking game, but he still manages to cope up with it and does not let it affect the team.

The Napoli left-back is 28 years old and it seems like they are unlikely to challenge in Europe or for Serie A anytime soon. Ghoulam if given the chance should jump the ship if given a chance to win more respectable trophies in his career.

The Blues were linked with a move for him in the summer but they could return for him next season whether or not Sarri stays at Stamford Bridge.
