Frank Lampard hails goalkeeper Mendy on impressive start to EPL

Chelsea boss has hailed goalkeeper Edouard Mendy for his amazing work since he signed for the Blues.

The Senegalese star was hand-picked by former CheChel goalkeeper Petr Cech after £71million signing Kepa Arrizabalaga failed to deliver for the Blues. 

Speaking on the 28-year-old, Lampard told Chelsea TV:

"I’ve been really pleased. It’s not easy and he’s made it look easy, which is the difficult thing.

“When you come from another league there are of course differences in the Premier League – the physical nature, the speed of the league – and I think it is unique in those terms.

“For a goalkeeper that has got such a spotlight on him and is having to face these differences and make relationships with the team around him, he has done it very seamlessly.

“He has settled off the pitch and is performing on the pitch, you can’t ask any more than that, and he is doing it with a smile on his face and with a really great attitude.

So I’m really pleased, it’s a good start for him in a Chelsea shirt. Long may that continue.”

The Chelsea goalie has kept 4 clean sheets in 5 Premier League appearance for the Blues.
