‘He is the best’: Willy Caballero raves about in-form Chelsea player
Following his stellar performances for Chelsea FC this season, Willy Caballero “strongly believes” Edouard Mendy is the best goalkeeper in the world right now.
The south west London club has made an excellent start to the new season and currently sit atop the Premier League table, thanks in large part to their strong defensive unit.
Chelsea FC has conceded only four goals in the Premier League this season, allowing them to build a three-point lead at the top of the table.
Mendy has been a key figure at the back for the south west London club this season, producing a number of fine performances, including a memorable man-of-the-match performance in the 1-0 win at Brentford last month.
The 29-year-old Senegal international, who joined Chelsea FC from Rennes last summer, also helped Chelsea FC keep a clean sheet in their 4-0 thrashing of Juventus on Tuesday night, as Thomas Tuchel’s men booked their place in the Champions League last 16 with a game to spare.
Former Chelsea FC goalkeeper Caballero praised Mendy ahead of Tuesday’s game, claiming that there is no better shot-stopper in the world right now.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, as quoted by Metro, Caballero said: “I believe strongly that Ed Mendy is the best goalkeeper [in the world] – last year and at the moment this year he is the best.
“As he arrived last season in training I saw an amazingly talented goalkeeper in terms of power, in terms of speed – he is so fast when diving.
“He has very long arms and everyone wants that as a goalkeeper. He is showing in every single game that he is calm and he is improving with his feet, he is playing very well in the build-up.
“He is winning points for Chelsea – not just last season but this season too. He is enjoying performing at this level and keeping clean sheets.”
On Sunday afternoon, Tuchel’s team will face Manchester United in the Premier League.
