Senegalese international goalkeeper, Edouard Mendy has completed a transfer move from Chelsea to Saudi Arabia league outfit, Al Ahli.

The champions league winner sealed a 17 million pounds move after a successful medical test to the latest Premier League star to move to Saudi Arabia.

The 31-year-old enjoyed a superb start to his Chelsea career after joining the club from Stade Rennais in 2020, winning the Champions League and the UEFA Men’s Best Goalkeeper Award in 2021.

However, Mendy struggled for form last season and underwent surgery in January after fracturing his finger, eventually losing his status as the club’s No. 1 goalkeeper to teammate Kepa Arrizabalaga.

He has joined the list of the sport’s biggest names in the Gulf as he looks to kickstart a new adventure. Karim Benzema has joined Al Ittihad while Mendy’s former Chelsea teammates N’Golo Kante and Kalidou Koulibaly and Hakim Ziyech have also moved to the Saudi Pro League.
