Chelsea are close to finalising an agreement to sign
goalkeeper Edouard Mendy from Rennes.
Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard is keen to sign a new
goalkeeper to provide competition for the Blues’ first-choice, Kepa
Arrizabalaga ahead of the new season.
Recall that Chelsea’s technical director, Petr Cech, is
understood to be behind the club’s push to sign Mendy.
According to The Guardian, Chelsea have entered negotiations
with Rennes and are now close to finalising an £18.2 million deal for the
Senegalese shot-stopper.
The newspaper report that the transfer could eventually
increase to £25million after add-ons are included in the deal.
Mendy, 28, has spent the past two seasons at Rennes, where
he has established himself as their first-choice keeper thanks to his excellent
performances.
He started his career at Cherbourg and Stade de Reims before
he moved to Rennes in 2018
