Edouard Mendy on hopes for Chelsea future and 'big factor' Petr Cech amid new contract plan

Edouard Mendy is not even two years into his Chelsea career and has already achieved a substantial amount during his time at Stamford Bridge. A Champions League win, an AFCON title, a UEFA Super Cup and a Club World Cup, in addition to reaching a number of finals under Thomas Tuchel. It's not been a bad start to life in west London.

The 30-year-old goalkeeper has firmly established himself as Chelsea's number one figure between the posts since joining the Blues on a five-year deal in September 2020. Amid the ongoing uncertainty of Kepa Arrizabalaga's future, there is little doubt Mendy will retain his position as Chelsea's first-choice stopper as the club look to find success in a new era of ownership with a squad rebuild required.

football.london understands a new contract is planned for the Senegal international, who is currently one of the lowest-earning members of Tuchel's first-team squad. For his part, Mendy hopes that his second 18 months with the Blues can come close to matching the start of his Chelsea career.
