Mendy completes £22m Chelsea move

Fans will expect the Senegal international to be thrown in at the deep end following Kepa Arrizabalaga’s recent string of howlers

Chelsea have announced the signing of Edouard Mendy from Rennes, with the goalkeeper joining on a five-year deal at a cost of £22 million ($29m).

The move has been in the works for some time, with Goal having previously reported that the Blues had been in the market for a new shot-stopper to compete with the error-prone Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Following the announcement on Thursday morning, the France-born Senegal international admitted that it was a dream come true to be signing for such a prestigious club.
