Ferdinand reveals the area Edouard Mendy must improve in to keep Chelsea place

Premier League

Rio Ferdinand has been impressed with the impact of Edouard Mendy at Chelsea but has identified one major weakness in his game. The Senegalese keeper joined Chelsea in the summer from Rennes on the recommendation of technical direct and the blues legend Petr Cech.
