OFFICIAL: Edouard Mendy completes transfer from Chelsea to Al Ahli

Edouard Mendy has completed a move from Chelsea to Al Ahli.

The Senegal international goalkeeper leaves the club after three seasons in west London.

He has signed a three-year deal with the Saudi Pro League club.

The 31-year-old will be best remembered at Stamford Bridge for his starring role in the Champions League-winning run in 2020-21, where he conceded just twice in seven knockout matches.

He will join former team-mates Kalidou Koulibaly and N’Golo Kante in moving to Saudi Arabia this month while Hakim Ziyech is expected to join them.

In early June, the Saudi Arabia ministry of sport announced the country’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) will take control of four teams in the Saudi Pro League: Al Ahli, Al Ittihad, Al Hilal and Al Nassr.

Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in January, Karim Benzema agreed to join Al Ittihad earlier this month and a bid for Lionel Messi was made before he chose to join Inter Miami as the country looks to bring in a host of high-profile players.

Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has received a lucrative opportunity to join the Saudi Pro League.
