Edouard Mendy is no longer Chelsea’s no.1 with Graham Potter keen to give Kepa the chance to become the club’s first choice keeper.
Senegalese keeper Mendy, 30, was signed two years ago after Kepa's £72million capture, a world record for a keeper, proved a disaster. Mendy went on to equal the record for the most clean sheets in a Champions League Final season with nine.
He then performed another shutout against Manchester City to help Chelsea win their second title. Mendy was also awarded both the UEFA keeper of the year and FIFA’s best goalkeeper of 2021, becoming the first African goalkeeper in football's history to win both awards.
