Chelsea's new Senegal keeper Edouard Mendy is the third with the surname in the English Premier League alongside Manchester City's Benjamin and Nampalys Mendy.
In fact, looking into it, it's possible to get an entire XI of Mendys playing top fight football in Europe - all with African heritage.
Liverpool fans once had a chant of "We all dream of a team of Carraghers" in praise of the club's former defender turned TV pundit Jamie Carragher. But with Mendy, we have not just a team but a coach, a team ambassador referee - and even an agent to recruit more Mendys.
