Rio Ferdinand has told Edouard Mendy that he must eradicate his mistakes in order to reclaim his title as a "phenomenal" goalkeeper. The 30-year-old has been central to much of Chelsea's success since arriving from Rennes two years ago but, in recent weeks, he has made errors which have helped fuel the Blues' turbulent form.
While the shot-stopper isn't entirely to blame for the west Londoners' shaky start to the new season, doubt has been cast over Mendy's position in the starting XI with Kepa Arrizabalaga armed and ready on the sidelines. The Senegal international has been placed under the spotlight lately following a string of errors.
To ensure that Mendy retains his crown as one of Europe's leading goalkeepers, Ferdinand has told him he must do everything he can to keep his name out of the limelight. Speaking on Vibe with Five, the former Manchester United defender claimed that goalkeeper's form is becoming a problem.
