Chelsea legend Petr Cech spoke about the transition of the Senegalese, who faced many difficulties in his life in order to play at the highest level.

" He plays great with his feet, delivers accurate long and short distance passes, and dominates serving and throwing situations like no other in European football. "

" He is strong in the air and commands in the box, and also uses his height very well for saves..

He will be a great addition to our team, and will impose the fight for a place in the base. "

" In his first season with Reims in Ligue 1, he made tremendous progress, and last year, after moving to Rennes, his incredible progress continued. "

" But when you get used to the pressure in life, as in his case, when he was unemployed, you cope much better with the pressure in football "

As a reminder, the amount of Mendi's transfer was 24 million euros and 6 in the form of bonuses.
