#4 Kalidou Koulibaly - Napoli, Senegal
Having recieved the award of the best defender in the Serie A for the 2018-19 season, Kalidou Koulibaly is one of the best defenders in the world, and easily the best African defender right now. Playing for Napoli in Italy, Koulibaly is a mountain of a man who has established himself to be a dominant force at the back in one of the best leagues in the world.
Last season, the Senegalese international played over 4300 minutes of club football, wherein he conceded only 0.8 goals per 90 minutes in Serie A. Koulibaly is as good in the air as he is on the ball, with several of the top attackers in the world having trouble getting past him in both the Serie A, and the Champions League.
Koulibaly is 28 right now, with a few of his peak years still ahead of him. Now one of the most coveted defenders in the world, do not be surprised if you see him make his way to one of Europe's best clubs.
