Loftus-Cheek rates this Chelsea player as world best

Chelsea midfielder and England international Ruben Loftus-Cheek, has hailed his fellow teammate  Senegal international Edouard Mendy for his impressive performance vs Brentford over the weekend.

Mendy’s performance in the match saw the Blues win Brentford by a 1-0 scoreline thanks to a lone goal from Ben Chilwell, and Loftus-Cheek has rated the Senegal goalie as a world-class for this.

The Senegal international was easily the Man-of-the-Match during the weekend game as he helped Chelsea from losing all three points.

Speaking in a post-match statement, Loftus-Cheek said, “Eddie in goal, (laughs) he’s saved us a few times, but that’s what these top keepers do; the guy is world-class.

“On another day, we come away with a few more goals, but three points is the most important thing.”

Mendy is expected to return to action when Chelsea take on Malmo on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League.

Chelsea are currently seated at the top of the log table ahead of Liverpool and Man City, with Man Utd sitting outside the top four following their shameful loss to Leicester City over the weekend.
