Chelsea's Edouard Mendy has backed himself in any potential arm wrestle against team-mate Antonio Rudiger. The Senegalese goalkeeper has had yet another hugely impressive season for the Blues.
He shed light on how he believes he can beat the club's powerful German defender in an arm wrestle. When asked who would win a potential arm wrestle challenge between the pair, Mendy told the 5th Stand app (via Chelsea Chronicle ):
“T hat’s an easy one and Toni would say the same... it’s me!”
The duo have certainly risen to the challenge of finding success with one another. They have won the UEFA Champions League , UEFA Super Cup and most recently the Club World Cup during their time together.
As a defensive unit, the pair have managed to defend the Blues' goal on numerous occasions. Since Mendy joined the club back in 2020 from Rennes, the Blues have kept 37 clean sheets in 71 appearances.
Any potential arm wrestling challenge between the two would be extremely impressive to watch. But what is more impressive to watch is both players' contributions this season.
Rudiger, 28, has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge with his contract set to expire at the end of the season. Mendy's playful words show unity in the Chelsea side and are an indicator of just how much Chelsea players want their German defender to stay.
