Chelsea finally confirmed the signing of a new goalkeeper this week and many fans were commenting how they will now have a stopper who will come and collect crosses.
Kepa Arrizabalaga is not the tallest of goalkeepers and is often rooted to his line when crosses come in. But new keeper Edouard Mendy stands at 6ft 6in tall and will naturally be more comfortable dealing with crosses.
This is exactly what Chelsea needed, and as you can see from this highlights reel of Mendy playing for Senegal below, not only does he come for crosses, he shows some great shot stopping here as well.
