Imminent arrival is highly-rated by Cech, Chelsea fans are told after personal terms and fee agreed
New Chelsea signing Edouard Mendy is highly-influential and highly-rated by club legend Petr Cech, reports the TalkSport website.
One area that Lampard was desperate to improve was the stopper area, as Kepa is looking like a goalkeeper that is struggling for confidence and unable to cope with the pressure that has been placed on his head in recent months.
Step in the rumours that we were keen on Mendy, the Rennes stopper that has been watched by the scouts for more than a year now and the man that will add experience to the Blues side.
He will not be heading to the club for cheap, as that £22 million is still alot of money to pay, while his £150,000-a-week wages will make him one of the highest earners at the club and the Premier League.
The reports suggest we were told to sign him by legendary glovesman Petr Cech, who now works as a technical and performance adviser for the club he served as a player for eleven years.
He is hailed as the clubs greatest ever stopper, so there is no-one more trusted by Lampard to make the decision about who to sign in order to help improve the stopper area and hand Kepa a real challenge.
Mendy is a man that is ready to make that step up and play for one of the biggest clubs in the game (US). So this is the right time for him to make that move, as we are in dire need of his ability.
Kepa has lost all his confidence and needs to be taken out of the limelight for a bit until he gets back to his best.
Thank god that Mendy is coming to the club, lets hop that he does live upto the hype.
