Mendy mentions Drogba, Mikel, Essien and Eto'o as African legends who have shone at Chelsea.
He is the first African goalkeeper for the Blues and that makes him proud.
The shot-stopper says that's a big responsibility but he will try to live up to it.
"Of course. Most of the biggest African talent has played for this team," Edouard Mendy told Chelseafc.com after he completed his move from Rennes.
"Drogba, Essien, Eto’o, Mikel. When you see that, you want to continue it. Regarding the goalkeeper, I am the first, so it really makes me very proud, and it’s also a big responsibility."
See you soon, Edouard! 👍#WelcomeMendy pic.twitter.com/ElkbbifmQj— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) September 24, 2020
These are strong words from Mendy and you can see how proud the goalkeeper feels to be a part of the club that he has admired since he was a child.
We wish Mendy all the best and hope to see him between the sticks soon - we're quite certain that he will be making the likes of Droga proud!
