Mendy runs to Chelsea and becomes most expensive goalkeeper from L1

Edouard Mendy -

In case you were wondering, the Rennes-Chelsea connection is still working.

15 years after Petr Cech, Edouard Mendy signed with the Blues for five years and the transfer is estimated at 24 million euros.

This is the highest amount in history for a goalkeeper from Ligue 1.

Its illustrious Czech predecessor had cost 10 million euros less, in an admittedly different economic context.

It's official!

Edouard Mendy is a Blue!
