Deal Almost Done: Rennes boss affirms Édouard Mendy move to Chelsea

Women and men of their word, it’s going on. Following quite a while of rumours and affirmations and bogus starts, Édouard Mendy’s move to Chelsea is at last happening.

We’ve had personal terms agreed with for nearly a month now, however the aggreement between the two clubs was not pending.

That has purportedly changed this weekend, and has now in reality been affirmed by Edouard Mendy’s prospective previous head coach, Julien Stéphan.

Talking after their 2-1 win over AS Monaco on Saturday, which didn’t include Edouard Mendy yet put Rennes at the top briefly on Ligue 1, Stéphan affirmed that the Senegal international goalkeeper is headed to Chelsea.

Along these lines, there we have it. Simply need to wait somewhat more.
