Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma has hailed the early impact of Edouard Mendy.

The former Rennes goalkeeper kept another clean sheet for victory at Burnley on Saturday.

Zouma said: “He has been great, with the ball at his feet and he is big, too.

“He has presence and catches the ball when he comes out. He is talking a lot, doing a great job. He settled in very quickly, but we have to keep focused.

“I speak French and I know him a little bit from before. He is a top guy, a very clever guy. Easy to talk to.

“He is super-intelligent, very calm. He has no problems speaking English. We were talking French, but now he has learned some English very quickly."
