Edouard Mendy is said to be a priority for Chelsea as rumors grew up these days sending the Senegalese goalkeeper to Stamford Bridge. However, Rennes manager Julien Stephan made an update about his protegee.

During an interview with Telefoot, Julien Stephan said Edouard Mendy is an important player in his team. The Teranga lion also plays a great role in the dressing room.

However, he did not rule out a possible exit of the glovesman.

“ Edouard Mendy? Of course we would like to have the workforce stabilized as soon as possible, but in this case it is utopian to think that. From the moment the market is open until October 5th, it can go all the way to the end. Edou is someone very important to me both in the team and in the locker room.” Stephan said.
