Chelsea have reached a crucial point in their attempt to sign Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, via TalkSport .

Last week, the Premier League side made an improved bid of €20 million for the 28-year-old after their opening offer of €17m was reportedly turned down.

Chelsea are keen on having the Senegal international on the books to provide competition for no. 1 goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga who struggled between the sticks last season.
