Edouard Mendy
33-Year-Old
Al-Ahli
Completes move to Saudi Arabia
Mendy has signed a contract with Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli after transferring from Chelsea, the club announced Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Mendy had an excellent start to life in London as he kept 44 clean sheets in 86 matches across the Premier League and Champions League in 2020/21 and 2021/22, winning the UCL title in his debut season and lifting the African Cup of Nations in 2022. But it all fell apart last season as he lost the starting job at his club to Kepa Arrizabalaga and only featured once since the start of 2023. The 31-year-old goalkeeper is now joining his former Chelsea teammates N'Golo Kante and Kalidou Koulibaly in moving to the Saudi Pro League as Mendy joins Al-Ahli.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for Saudi move?
Chelsea are looking to sell Mendy to the Saudi Pro League during the summer transfer window, according to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo.
ANALYSIS
Chelsea have one of the biggest squads in the Premier League and are dealing with an excess of depth in most positions, so it makes sense for them to part ways with several players that are not expected to play significant roles moving forward. Mendy certainly fits that mold, and it wouldn't be shocking to see him move to the Saudi Pro League in the coming weeks. He would end up as one of the best players in his position if he completed the move to Asia.
