Frank Lampard has revealed that Edouard Mendy has already become Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper.
The Senegal stopper helped the Blues secure Lampard’s first goalless draw as Chelsea boss in Tuesday’s Champions League stalemate with Sevilla.
Asked if former Rennes stopper is already Chelsea’s number one keeper, Lampard said: “At the moment yes; he’s shown his quality.
“The way he’s played, he’s played very well, that’s two clean sheets for him already.
“As it stands he is (the number one) but that’s always up for grabs. But the way he’s playing I’m very happy.
“We made a lot of good decisions tonight, so it’s a really nice place for us to build from.
“I think it’s a positive result. The clean sheet was a big deal for us.”
The Blues were solid against Sevilla if a little uninspiring in attack, though Chelsea will be delighted with an improved defensive showing.
