Edouard Mendy claim made amid Alisson, Ederson, and Gianluigi Donnarumma debate

Senegal and Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly has labelled international teammate Edouard Mendy 'the best in the world' amid comparisons with the likes of Alisson, Ederson, David De Gea and Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Mendy, 29, alongside Liverpool's Sadio Mane, was the hero in the penalty shoot out for Aliou Cisse's side as they claimed Senegal's first ever Africa Cup of Nations title in dramatic style against Egypt.

Chelsea's No.16 didn't have a lot to do over the full 120 minutes other than make a big save from Mohamed Salah and deal with a few nerves that were clear when having to claim crosses from corners and free-kicks.
