ITS OFFICIAL! Rennes Coach Confirms Mendy Will Join Chelsea

Rennes head coach Julien Stephan has confirmed that Edouard Mendy will join Chelsea.

Frank Lampard’s side have yet to officially announce their move for the 28-year-old goalkeeper, but reports this week claim a £22 million deal has been agreed between the two clubs.

Rennes also asked for either Fikayo Tomori or Olivier Giroud to be included as part of the deal but Chelsea refused the request from the French side.

Mendy is now on course to complete his move to Stamford Bridge, with Rennes now actively seeking a replacement.

‘We’re looking for a goalkeeper, it’s no secret,’ Stephan told Telefoot.

‘Edouard will certainly leave us to join Chelsea.

‘In this position, we need to get someone in very quickly, I cannot give you names as there is nothing definitive.’
