'I’ve been a Chelsea supporter since I was little': Edouard Mendy's sweet story on how he started supporting Blues

"I’ve been a Chelsea supporter since I was little," Edouard Mendy told Chelseafc.com in his first interview with the club.

"I adore this club. When I was 12 I had the chance with a past club I played for to go to Brighton, and we watched a match. I thought English football was amazing.

"We went into a shop and I saw the Chelsea shirt, this was about 2003 when Ranieri was the manager, and I bought this shirt. So I’ve always liked this club."

Mendy added that he feels privileged representing Chelsea, which is one of the biggest clubs in the world.
