The highly-rated Senegal international goalkeeper joined the Blues in the summer of 2020 and is now a Champions League winner
Edouard Mendy admits to fearing that a move to Chelsea would never happen, with the Senegal international expecting the Blues to favour an alternative option when looking to land a new goalkeeper.
With Kepa Arrizabalaga failing to convince at Stamford Bridge, Premier League heavyweights found themselves in the market for another No.1 during the summer window of 2020.
Having previously struck gold when luring Petr Cech away from Rennes in 2004, a familiar transfer path was trodden as Mendy was lined up for a £22 million ($30m) switch that has delivered more value between the sticks in west London.
