Mendy: Chelsea players want to fight for trophies

Edouard Mendy is happy with his first five months at Chelsea.

The goalkeeper joined the Blues from Rennes and already has 12 clean sheets to his name, despite only arriving in late September, and is enjoying life in the Premier League.

"I wanted to be here because for me the Premier League is the best league in the world so I'm glad to be here," he told the club's website.

"It was a good start but with the team it's a difficult time. We try to keep going, to move forward and I hope the results will be good soon.

"It's a big responsibility because this club has won so many trophies and we want to fight to win trophies every year, so the pressure is high every year, and it's good to be part of this team.

"I think we have to work hard in training, to keep working, and for me we need to stay confident between us because when you've lost many games sometimes it's hard. But we need to stay positive, we need to stay confident and stay focused on the next game."
