Graham Potter decision highlights Edouard Mendy Chelsea decline as Juventus target £34m transfer

Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy lost his place as the Blues No.1 goalkeeper after Graham Potter's arrival at Stamford Bridge. Potter has continued to select Kepa Arrizabalaga as his starting keeper since replacing Thomas Tuchel as manager of the Blues.

Mendy's form has declined this season and he has not been able to change that at the World Cup with Senegal. The 30-year-old goalkeeper was at fault for both of the Netherlands' goals in their opening World Cup fixture in Group A as Senegal lost 2-0, despite qualifying for the round of 16 stage.

Since Potter took over at Chelsea in September, Mendy has started just two Premier League games, only because Kepa was out injured. Mendy is now preparing for Senegal's round of 16 tie against England on Sunday, but his future at Stamford Bridge remains in doubt.
