Coach opens up and announces Chelsea monitoring impressive stopper Mendy

Chelsea goalkeeping coach Christophe Lollichon has revealed interest in Reims shot-stopper Edouard Mendy. and he is monitoring the progress of

We are on the hunt for a new goalkeeper this summer as Frank Lampard prepares to axe Kepa Arrizabalaga ahead of the new season after the Spaniard failed to impress the club legend with his performances last season.

And that has led to alot of speculation that the likes of , Emiliano Martinez and even Marc-Andre Ter Stegen have all been linked with a move to the club.

Now, Lollichon has revealed the club are interested in the lad, and he is monitoring the progress of the stopper, He told Le Parisien: “He has reached maturity, with a fairly unusual path, and it is all the more meritorious.

“Edouard Mendy is today, for me, the best goalkeeper in the Championship of France.

“He is what I call proactive, very influential goalkeeper… Reims really did a great job with him.

“Maybe at [Marseille] they could not detect the talent he had in him, but it was perhaps not the right time too.

“In any case, he’s a great goalkeeper that we follow in the Premier League.”

the man man must be impressing over in the French Leagues but we need to add a world class stopper to the side that most of us have heard of, not another talent that could be a top-class goalkeeper.

He is not the answer to our problems at the back i am afraid, not quite yet.
