Lampard confirms deal for Edouard Mendy

Frank Lampard has confirmed Edouard Mendy’s transfer to Chelsea is done with the goalkeeper undergoing his medical before signing the contract.

The Blues will pay French side Rennes £22 million ($29m) for the transfer of the 28-year old Senegal international. The team has moved to sign another keeper after Kepa Arrizabalaga’s performance slumped recently.

The Chelsea coach confirmed the news during a presser on Tuesday: “Yes, Mendy is having a medical as we speak. Subject to that being okay then he will become our player.”

Mendy’s signing would see the club’s summer spending extended towards to the $300m-mark following the arrival of Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell and the club’s record signing Kai Havertz.

Other new players are Thiago Silva who joined on a free transfer from PSG and Malang Sarr.
