Kaveh Solhekol says Chelsea are edging closer to a move for Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.

Frank Lampard has so far delved into that transfer kitty more often than any other side in the Premier League and signed the players that he believes will add a bit more quality to the Blues side.

It has been revealed in recent days that we are in advanced talks to wrap up a transfer deal for Mendy, who is keen to make the move to the Bridge, and will provide a challenge for Spaniard Kepa.

And amid all the speculation that he is on his way to the club, Solhekol has opened up and revealed that his move to the premier League giants is very close, he told the Sky Sports website: “As far as we know, talks are ongoing and he is close to becoming a Chelsea player.

“We know that Frank Lampard wants to sign a goalkeeper and Mendy wants to come to Stamford Bridge and become a Chelsea player.

“And the price Chelsea will end up paying is something that will prove to have been a good buy judging on how well he has performed for Rennes.”

This is a summer that fans have loved and the quality of players that they have been signing are a real statement to the rest of the Premier League, that the club are seeking to challenge for that title.

Mendy is a decent stopper that we will welcome to the club.
