Chelsea have reached full verbal agreement with Saudi’s Al Ahli to sell Edouard Mendy. Édouard Mendy has agreed personal terms with Al Ahli and is set to be a three-year agreement. Contracts to be checked then signed, if all goes to plan.

Édouard Mendy is the third Chelsea player to have reportedly agreed personal terms with a club in the Saudi Pro League – and he probably won’t be the last with Kalidou Koulibaly and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang both set to follow as well.
