Edouard Mendy becomes Chelsea's seventh new arrival this transfer window as he joins in £22m deal from Rennes... and he will be available to face West Brom after Frank Lampard finally signs replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga

Edouard Mendy will be available for inclusion in Frank Lampard’s squad to face West Brom on Saturday after completing his £22m move from Rennes.

Mendy is due to train with his new team-mates for the first time on Friday having avoided the need to quarantine on his arrival in the UK after having his medical in Germany rather than France.

Mendy, who did some individual work on Thursday afternoon following earlier confirmation of his switch, signed a five-year deal.
