Marseille rue rejection from Chelsea keeper Mendy

Olympique Marseille management are ruing not signing Edouard Mendy two years ago.

The Chelsea goalkeeper joined the Blues last summer from Rennes.

But Telefoot says he had the chance to join Marseille a year earlier when impressing with Reims.

His form that season had caught the eye of France's biggest clubs, including OM, which made an offer to the experienced keeper.

But in the end, Mendy chose Rennes before making the move to Chelsea a year later.
