Mendy wins Senegalese Footballer of the Year

13 Dec 2021


Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has picked up yet another individual
award for his outstanding performances since joining the club, this time
being named as the Senegalese Player of the Year.

The award was voted for by national sports journalists in his homeland,
and the Blues shot-stopper won the vote convincingly with 321 votes, ahead
of Liverpool's Sadio Mane (99 votes) and Watford's Ismailia Sarr (61
votes).


Mendy was handed the UEFA Goalkeeper of the Year earlier in the season at
our home match against Zenit in September, and two weeks ago finished
second in the Yashin Trophy – an award at the Ballon d'Or ceremony
dedicated to goalkeepers.

His recent accolades have deservedly come, after he became the first-ever
African goalkeeper to win the Champions League, after keeping a
joint-record nine clean sheets in last season's competition. The
29-year-old also became the first-ever goalkeeper to keep nine clean
sheets in a debut Champions League season.


Mendy has gone from strength to strength since arriving from Rennes in the
summer of 2020, keeping 36 clean sheets in 65 appearances, conceding just
42 goals.


Four of the 11 Premier League goals he has conceded this season have been
from the penalty spot, and his commanding presence in both the Chelsea
dressing room and on the pitch will be crucial to mounting a title charge
this season.


Mendy's Senegal are due to play in the African Cup of Nations in January
and February in Cameroon, and he is one of two Chelsea players eligible to
be called up to play at the tournament which commences on January 9 2022,
alongside Hakim Ziyech of Morocco.
