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

The Senegalese international has penned a five-year deal at Stamford Bridge and will compete with Kepa Arrizabalaga and Willy Caballero for a starting spot between the posts in the season ahead.

After signing his long-term contract with the Blues, Mendy said: ‘I am so excited to be joining Chelsea. It’s a dream for me to be a part of this exciting squad and to work with Frank Lampard and all of his coaching staff. I look forward to meeting my team-mates and can’t wait to get started.’

On signing Mendy, Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia said: ‘As soon as Petr Cech and our technical team identified Edouard as the most suitable goalkeeper to complement our existing group, there was only one player we wanted to bring in. Edouard arrives following a season of real success with Rennes, he is ambitious for more, and we welcome him to our club.’

Now its time for kepa to be bench


that guy flop is to much,,i bet if it was kepa in yesterday match does guys would have score 2goals but dat bolded man save's den

wellcome edouard mendy

Kepa is going through a lot at this time. What he needs is for his club & manager to embrace him and give him some confidence, not another GK that will relegate him to the bench. They really want to break that guy. The most expensive GK in the world, he can't go bad overnight.

The GK position is not one that can be gambled with, Kepa has had two seasons under different managers, he has had time to adjust to the different pace of the EPL, Chelsea shouldn't have to continue suffering for his mistakes.

Las las na 5th dem go end

Goodnews....kepa should be benched or sold,he is a liability to that Chelsea team

Goodnews... But as an African player can he withstand the task ahead of him ?... Kepa is not an option , Caballero is better than the two

As first or second choice?

As prior or the chosen?

You got it, Kepa is going through alot at this time and according to former players and pundits they (Chelsea Players and Management) really need to stand by him now, i feel sorry for him and if you look at him now, he looks like someone who have lost his confidence and going through lots of things. All the best to him and all the best to Mendy also. Hala Chelsea.

Now we can win big. Up Chelsea

kepa will return strong that i know. he should just see Mendy as a competition in which he would get better nd not a threat.

WELCOME TO DE BLUES FAMILY

Kepa conceded 11 from 16 shots faced. Forget we know the defense is bad. But at least try.

Goodbye to Akperebalaga.

Waste of money, money wey dem suppose dash charity. Las las na 5th position dem go still dey sebi na chelsea. See as d player be like kamaru wey dey sell groundnut for agegunle

Blues... desperately need a goalie

I saw wonders in Arsenal second goal keeper Martinez... That guy is far better than Leno..

I sent word to Chelsea.. before Aston Villa took him.. on his debut he saved a penalty..
The guy's confidence no be here

Will this be a good signing for the blues
Only time will tell
