The Blues penned with Koulibaly last week on a four-year deal worth £33.8million (€40m) from Napoli.
He appeared in 236 matches in Serie A in his eight-year spell at Napoli, helping them finish in the second-place three times.
Jorginho played alongside Koulibaly when he in Italy and they will now reunite in England.
The Italy international has admitted that he talked about such a reunion with Koulibaly several times after his move in 2018 and he praised the defender for his leadership skills.
"We spoke a lot about it,"
Jorginho told the club's website.
"Even before I came here Chelsea were interested in him, and finally now it's happening so it's really good.
"I am so, so happy he's here. As a player, he's a brilliant defender – fast, strong and he has so much quality on the ball with both feet. He's also a real leader.
"We've stayed in contact since I left Napoli.
"He speaks better English already than I do so that will be good for him to help settle in. It's going to be really easy for him because of the person he is.
"Of course, we will help him to make it maybe a bit easier for him to get involved with team-mates and everything, but even if he didn't know us it would be easy for him because he's such a good guy."
