Despite his brilliant start at Stamford Bridge, Edouard Mendy has lost his spot to Kepa Arrizabalaga under Graham Potter, and the Senegalese stopper could be sold after a mammoth window of winter spending.
The Mirror states: “The Blues need to cut the number of players in Potter’s squad after heavy investment last summer and in January. Mendy, who was No.1 under Frank Lampard and Thomas Tuchel but has fallen behind Kepa Arrizabalaga since Potter’s arrival, is among those for whom the Stamford Bridge hierarchy will listen to offers.
“The 30-year-old Senegal keeper is in the final 18 months of the contract he signed when he arrived from Rennes at Petr Cech’s behest in 2020. He quickly established himself as one of the best shot-stoppers in the top flight, keeping 16 clean sheets in his first season.
“He also equalled the Champions League record of nine clean sheets in a campaign to help the club win the competition under Tuchel. Injury cost him his spot when Potter first arrived in September and, even though he has deputised when Kepa was unavailable, the Spaniard has retained his manager’s trust since.”
