Chelsea are reportedly at a “crucial stage” in their transfer talks over Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.
The Blues have had a busy summer with deals for Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva and Kai Havertz, but it looks like Frank Lampard isn’t finished with his spending just yet.

According to journalist Kevin Palmer, Chelsea are at a key stage in their negotiations over signing Mendy, who could be an ideal replacement for the struggling Kepa Arrizabalaga.
See below as Palmer provides an update on Chelsea’s goalkeeper search, with Mendy apparently not the only name they’re considering this summer…
I'm hearing that Rennes keeper Edouard Mendy could be the next big arrival at Chelsea as talks reach a crucial stage… but he is not their only goalkeeper option this summer #CFC pic.twitter.com/0H8TG11NNm

Mendy has looked impressive in Ligue 1 and seems like he could be a smart signing, even if he’s not the big name some Chelsea fans will be craving.
If Chelsea can add a quality goalkeeper to their long list of summer purchases, they really could be a force to be reckoned with next season as Lampard looks to be putting together a really strong squad.
The west Londoners were only ever really in contention for a top four spot last season, but this increasingly looks like a team that could be genuine title challengers in 2020/21.
It’s good signing for Chelsea
I wish we could buy gigi donaruma
Donarunma
the deal we announce this week. Blues unpoint.
KEPA should be given time to develop himself
Dako rako iwe
If possible,Ter Stegen
With Mendy joining Chelsea hopefully this week the Chelsea will be ready to Rumble. All thanks to Mr. Abromavich. And all the good and relentless work done by Marina Grovnaskaia and every on at Chelsea FC.
Good Luck Chelsea.
Top 3 dream signing for goalkeeper would be: Oblak, Donnaruma or Nic Pope. we know their potentials. Mendy to many is an unknown factor much like Keppa was.
yes we need another goalkeeper than can transformed club. not like kepa arrizbalaga his so weakness
