Chelsea’s new summer signing, Edouard Mendy has kept consecutive five clean sheets and has conceded only one goal in the Carabao Cup match against Tottenham on his debut.
The Senegalese keeper is having an impressive impact and has already matched Spanish keeper and his competition, Kepa Arrizabalaga’s clean sheet of 2020. While it is easy for all to see the numbers, the impact came in the form of confidence in the backline.
He has been hailed as “exceptional” after the 3-0 victory against Burnley as he matches the legendary keeper Petr Cech’s record of back to back clean sheets in EPL. Fans are already assured that this £22m deadline purchase will eventually turn out to be a legendary figure in Stamford Bridge.
They took Twitter and spread their voices and compliments for the young keeper.

The more direct and appealing comment came when a fan said that the former Rennes keeper is better than Liverpool’s Alisson Becker: “Mendy > Alisson.”

A fan also suggested signing any keeper from Rennes as soon as Edouard Mendy retires.
After Mendy retires we want whichever keeper Rennes has at that time #CFC

His form is a major boost to the fans especially after they were fed up with the errors committed by Kepa since last season. If Chelsea wants to win big, they will need big performances like this from Mendy.
