How good is Edouard Mendy, the new Chelsea Goalkeeper Candidate?
London - Chelsea are ready to complete the arrival of their new goalkeeper, Edouard Mendy. How good is this Senegalese goalkeeper?
Chelsea are reportedly ready to redeem Edouard Mendy from French League club Stade Reims to replace Kepa Arrizabalaga's goalkeeper. The Blues are believed to have spent 20 million pounds or the equivalent of Rp. 377 billion.
Then maybe for Chelsea fans, there is only one question. How good is it, Edouard Mendy?
From Transfermarkt's data, Edouard Mendy is a goalkeeper from Senegal. He is 28 years old.
Edouard Mendy had strengthened the second team of Marseille and joined Stade Reims in 2016. Only last season, he strengthened Stade Rennais.
Edouard Mendy has also only strengthened the Senegal national team seven times. Many say, Mendy is a shining star.
From the data Edouard Mendy has a height of 1.97 meters. It is higher than Kepa Arrizabalaga, 1.86 meters.
Let's compare the percentage saves of the two goalkeepers in the 2019/2020 season yesterday. Edouard Mendy recorded 78.4 percent saves which was the third best in the French League. Meanwhile, Kepa, only 54.5 percent, is the lowest in the Premier League.
With a great height, Edouard Mendy is also good at cutting crosses from opponents in his nest. Last season, he was successful as much as 10.2 percent for cutting crosses. Kepa, only 7.2 percent however, Chelsea fans don't be complacent just yet. Edouard Mendy definitely needs time to adapt to the Premier League which is known for being fast and hard.
Investigate, apparently, Edouard Mendy was the choice of Chelsea Sports recruiter, Petr Cech. The man from the Czech Republic who is also a legend of Chelsea goalkeeper is known to have also strengthened Mendy's club, Stade Rennais.
Cech also likes to monitor the development of young goalkeepers at the club. Until finally Edouard Mendy, stole his heart.
Of course Chelsea manager Frank Lampard will definitely listen to input from Petr Cech about Edouard Mendy. So now, if it's officially carried off and playing, we'll just look forward to how tough Edouard Mendy is in guarding the Blues goal.
