Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy insists there's no extra attention needed for new Manchester City signing Erling Haaland.

Mendy insists they will not be giving Manchester City's new superstar Haaland any special treatment next season.

The Senegal stopper views the challenge presented by the Norway superstar, 21, in a similar way to that of Crystal Palace's experienced frontman Christian Benteke, 31.

Mendy said: "It's not about one striker or one team. We just have to focus on every striker, every team we play to win. It's not because it's Haaland.

"I look at Haaland like I look at Benteke - it's not that different between Crystal Palace and City.

"You have to be focused because he is a striker and he can score."
