Edouard Mendy can become 'one of the best goalkeepers in the world', according to veteran coach Henry Abiodun, who has predicted a 'great future' for the Chelsea star.
Mendy was lured from Ligue 1 outfit Rennes in a £22m ($31m) deal as the six-time English top-flight kings sought to find greater stability between the sticks as costly errors had crept into Kepa Arrizabalaga’s game.
Appreciatively, he has since proven to be one of the bargain signings, keeping 13 clean sheets in 17 games for the Stamford Bridge giants since the start of January.
