One player that will help Chelsea win a trophy

Former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch has rated the Blues a title contender in the EPL this season.

This comes as Crouch stated that Chelsea goalkeeper and Senegal international Edouard Mendy is ‘the final missing piece’ in Chelsea’s squad.

The former Liverpool striker made this known while reacting to Mendy’s man-of-the-match display during Chelsea’s Premier League 1-0 win over Brentford over the weekend.

Mendy, in the match away from Stamford Bridge, gave a brilliant performance as he made a number of incredible saves that helped the Blues to win all three points vs Brentford.

“Thomas Frank, Brentford manager, had it right after Chelsea somehow beat Brentford on Saturday night, when saying his team would have won that game nine times out of 10,” Crouch told the Daily Mail.

“The reason they didn’t? Edouard Mendy. Mendy underlines the importance of a goalkeeper to a title-winning side.

“He is the final, missing piece that could get them [Chelsea] over the lines this season.”

Chelsea are currently seated at the top of the EPL table and will hope to continue their impressive form on Tuesday night when they face Malmo in the UCL.
