Chelsea want a new deal with Mendy

According to a recent report from Sky Sports, Chelsea are in talks with Edouard Mendy's representatives over a new contract.

The word used is 'upgraded' to describe the deal they're looking for, but as it stands there's a noticeable gap between what the Blues are offering and what Mendy's side want for him. He currently has three years left on his contract following his initial signing in 2020 and although he has been an integral part of the first team so far, it should also be noted that the Blues have not been at the above digging heels with this kind of situation in the past.

Mendy is easily one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League and Chelsea are more than capable of advancing the title in their own right this season, raising many questions as to why they are so far apart. each other.
