Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Ahli have signed Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.

Mendy moves to Al-Ahli on a three-year contract and for a mooted fee of €20m.

He won the Champions League in 2020-21 and kept 49 clean sheets in 105 games. The Senegal international was named Uefa's goalkeeper of the season and Best Fifa men's keeper at the end of that Champions League title campaign.

Chelsea announced on Wednesday: "Having started his career in the lower tiers of French football - and even spending several months without a club - Mendy rose to the pinnacle of European football with Chelsea.

"A hugely likeable character on and off the pitch, he will always have a place in our history for his significant contributions to our 2021 Champions League triumph.

"For that, and for everything else, we are grateful. Good luck, Edou!"
