Chelsea appear to have stepped up their efforts to sign a replacement for Edouard Mendy this summer. The 31-year-old goalkeeper was heavily linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge for a large majority of the season having played understudy to Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Mendy, who sees his contract with the west Londoners expire in 2025, featured just ten times for the Blues in the Premier League last term, keeping just one clean sheet. Even when called upon, the Senegal international struggled to impress and tie down a place in the starting lineup.
However, it must be said that Mendy suffered a knock to his shoulder which kept him on the sidelines from January to March. Whether it be due to injury or simply confidence, the shot-stopper hasn't managed to reach the same elite level he once enjoyed under Thomas Tuchel.
