Ruud van Nistelrooy has seen Leicester fall to six successive defeats in the Premier League, with the Foxes now sitting second bottom of the top-flight table as they battle against the drop

Van Nistelrooy said of Coulibaly: "He's a strong, powerful player and very good in one-v-one situations defensively. He's good on the ball and he has a physical profile that suits the Premier League. He's also at an age where he's in the prime of his career, so we have high hopes for him to do well for us."

Emile Smith Rowe and Adama Traore struck in the second half as Fulham beat Leicester 2-0, inflicting a seventh successive Premier League defeat on the hosts.
