Chelsea have officially announced the signing of Edouard Mendy. The Blues' director Marina Granovskaia has opened up on the news.
"As soon as Petr Cech and our technical team identified Edouard as the most suitable goalkeeper to complement our existing group, there was only one player we wanted to bring in," the most powerful woman in football told the club's official website.
"Edouard arrives following a season of real success with Rennes, he is ambitious for more, and we welcome him to our club."
Chelsea have completed the transfer of Mendy from Rennes for a reported fee of £22m. The shot-stopper has penned down a five-year contract with the club.
Mendy made 33 appearances across all competitions last term, conceding 31 goals, keeping 13 clean sheets and helping Rennes qualify for the Champions League after finishing third in Ligue 1.
