Chelsea are confident of signing Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy ahead of the new season, according to reports from The Athletic.
The report claims that the Blues are on the verge of agreeing a deal with the Rennes goalkeeper. If the deal goes through, it will take their spending on new players this summer closer to the £250 million mark.
The talks between the two clubs are progressing well. The 28-year-old is expected to arrive at Stamford Bridge within days or the next few weeks.
Chelsea had an offer worth £14 million rejected by Rennes already.
