It is understood the Lions of Teranga shot-stopper has penned a lucrative three-year deal with the Saudi Pro League outfit, said to be at least double what he was pocketing at Stamford Bridge.
After completing a medical on Monday, Mendy now joins his former Blues teammates N'Golo Kante and Senegal countryman Kalidou Koulibaly in the Middle East, with the latter's move to Al Hilal having been confirmed last weekend.
