Transferred to the Blues in September 2020, Édouard Mendy won the Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup in 2021 under the colors of Chelsea, as well as the Club World Cup in 2022. He was also named best goalkeeper in the season by UEFA in the 2020-2021 season. He had a much more complicated 2022-23 season, during which he lost his starting spot and suffered a broken finger in January. The Senegalese will find several familiar faces in the Saudi league: Kalidou Koulibaly, his national captain and ex-Chelsea team-mate who recently signed for Saudi club Al-Hilal, as well as N’Golo Kanté, also a former Chelsea player , who signed up for Al-Ittihad.
