The Senegalese shared his football journey and disclosed how he detested standing between the goalposts earlier in his career
Senegal international and Chelsea star Edouard Mendy has revealed that he once didn't want to be a goalkeeper.
Prior to his move to the Premier League giants, the 29-year-old was relatively unknown as he starred for Ligue 1 side, Rennes.
Nevertheless, he shot into the limelight having joined the Blues in a £22m ($31m) deal as Thomas Tuchel’s men sought to find greater solidity between the sticks as costly errors had sneaked into Kepa Arrizabalaga’s game.
He has since proven to be one of the bargain signings, making crucial saves for the Londoners who finished fourth in the 2020-21 Premier League campaign.
