He went on to make 44 appearances for the Blues in all competitions, keeping 25 clean sheets and conceding just 29 goals.
Mendy was central to Chelsea’s top four victory via the Premier League as well as the Blues’ triumph in Porto in May to win the European Cup.
He has now won the ‘Best African International’ award at the 2021 Ghana Football Awards to crown his perfect first year in England.
What did he say when he won the award?
“I am happy and grateful to receive this award. It has been an amazing year for me and winning the Champions League is one of the best achievements of my life.”
Mendy will return to pre-season training at Cobham next week as Chelsea prepare for the 2021/22 season.
