Transfer News: Chelsea want to sign Rennes star this summer

Chelssa have apparently spoken with Rennes about a potential transfer deal for shot-stopper Edouard Mendy as they continue with their quest for a replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Chelsea could do with replacing struggling KepaArrizabalaga, since his huge money move to Stamford Bridge last season, the goalkeeper hasn’t looked himself.

Presently, as indicated by a report, they’ve sounded out Rennes over a potential move for Edouard Mendy during talks over an expected loan for Fikayo Tomori at the Ligue 1 club.

Fikayo Tomori began the season brilliantly for Chelsea, however maybe he isn’t  prepared to be starting week in, week out for a club of this size.

This could accordingly be fine business by Chelsea, who could utilize Fikayo Tomori as bait to acquire a significant signing in goal.

All things considered, Edouard Mendy isn’t the greatest name so it is not yet clear if numerous Chelsea fans will be persuaded by the possible deal.
