Former Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly admits he's loving his football with Al Hilal.

The Senegal international left Chelsea for the Saudi Pro League last summer.

"I have found happiness again on and off the pitch. At Chelsea it was not what I expected, I was not used to not playing," Koulibaly told AS.

"When the offer came, I understood that it could be the right decision. And it was so. I am happy and the league is growing with the signings.

"People underestimate the level of the Saudis. A lot of people thought we came here on vacation and they found out that's not the case. We have 27 straight wins and we won't stop until we win titles."
