Rennes are delighted with the business achieved over Edouard Mendy's move to Chelsea.

RMC says the deal was settled last night, with the goalkeeper due to be confirmed a Chelsea player today.

Mendy will sign a five-year contract and join Chelsea for an initial €24m fee plus a further €6m in bonuses.

Rennes management are pleased, having signed Mendy three years ago from Reims for €4m.

The Senegal international is France born and raised so doesn't require a UK work permit.
