Chelsea have signed
goalkeeper Edouard Mendy from Rennes for £22m on a five-year deal.
The 28-year-old becomes
Chelsea's seventh first-team signing of the summer following the
arrivals of Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva, Malang Sarr
and Kai Havertz.
Mendy will compete with
Kepa Arrizabalaga and Willy Caballero to be the club's No 1.
Mendy is following in the
footsteps of Petr Cech - now Chelsea's technical and performance adviser - who
made the same move from Rennes to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2004.
The 28-year-old kept nine
clean sheets in 24 Ligue 1 appearances last season with Rennes, helping them to
finish third and qualify for the Champions League for the first time in their
history.
