Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino believes Edouard Mendy is one of the club's best ever signings.

The London outfit have signed their fair share of superstars, including Dider Drogba, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, and Eden Hazard.

However, Cascarino is so impressed by shot stopper Mendy that he believes the Senegalese star deserves his place among those club legends.

Mendy was outstanding as the Blues battled to a 1-0 Premier League win against Brentford at the weekend.

Cascarino told talkSPORT: "Chelsea dug deep. Had a goalkeeper that performed miracles and you could argue that he's been one of Chelsea's best ever signings.

"He cost £17million from Rennes, came in and seemed to breeze into the team. Showed no signs of concerns of nerves.

"Yesterday was a day that made you think 'wow'.

"Whoever made the decision, I suspect it was Petr Cech because he was at Rennes as a goalkeeper and will know a lot of people at that football club, and was probably pivotal in that move to get him for Chelsea."
