Edouard Mendy is a world-class goalkeeper representing the colours of Senegal and Chelsea FC.



Edouard started his professional career at AS Cherbourg, a third tier club in the French league.

He was picked up by the Marseille reserve team and made his way to Reims where he played for 3 years. He moved to Rennes in 2019 and with his impressive performances earned a contract in the English Premier League with Chelsea FC. He quickly excelled at Chelsea and with his nine clean sheets in twelve UEFA Champions League games in the 2020/21 season, he helped his team win their second 'Big Ears' trophy. Mendy won the UEFA goalkeeper of the season.

Edouard Mendy is a dominant force between the sticks. He is very tall and assertive in the air. He is vocal at organizing his defenders, good with his feet and most importantly he is an excellent shot-stopper.

His teammates call him "Edou", short for Edouard.

Edou is one of the most in-form goalkeepers of today and is well liked by fans and players alike. He is very serious during games and can not seem to keep a smile off his face at all other times.
