Edouard Mendy is the next signing

We are on the verge of wrapping up a deal for Edouard Mendy.

According to Daily Mail, a £14million bid has already been rejected by the West London side for the Lille shot-stopper but the second bid of £18million will be enough to sign the keeper, taking our outlay close to £250 million in this window.

Various trusted journalists are also confirming that we are very close to sealing the deal for Mendy in a few days.

Chelsea are in advanced talks and really ‘confident’ to sign Edouard Mendy as new goalkeeper from Rennes [as per @JacobSteinberg]. The agreement is going to be completed on next days. Declan Rice still in the list as next target too. 🔵 #CFC #Chelsea #transfers

First of all, the new goalkeeper. But after completing the signing of Edouard #Mendy, Declan Rice will be the last target for #Chelsea. He is still in the list of Lampard to close a fantastic transfer window. @SkySport #CFC #Transfers https://t.co/gawhIb1rRM

Frank Lampard wants to sign Mendy to give Kepa Arrizabalaga the competition for a starting spot.
