Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy says the shot-stoppers are united as a group despite his arrival following the disastrous form of Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Mendy has replaced the Spaniard as the club's No1 this season after arriving from Rennes.

"I have a very good relationship with Kepa," Mendy said. "The group of goalkeepers we have, we're all very open and all of us understand the team is the most important thing here and doing what is right for the group.

"Our relationships are all very good, we work well together and we're pushing each other every day to improve ourselves and improve each other.

"We know as goalkeepers we have to stay unified and united and that is what is happening at the moment."
