Edouard Mendy has claimed that his relationship with Kepa Arrizabalaga is good even though they are fighting for the #1 jersey at Chelsea.

The two goalkeepers have been doing well this season and have been giving manager Thomas Tuchel selection headaches.

Mendy is still considered the first-choice goalkeeper at Stamford Bridge. However, while he was at AFCON in January, Kepa took charge between the sticks.

The Spaniard impressed everyone, and there were a few calls for him to remain in goal. However, Mendy took the gloves back as soon as he returned from international duty.

While speaking at a press conference ahead of their UEFA Champions League clash against Lille, Mendy was quizzed about his situation with Kepa.

The Senegal shot-stopper revealed that the two are on good terms and have no issues on or off the pitch. He said:

"My relationship with Kepa is good since I came here. We have a good relationship on and off the pitch. He did really well when I was at Afcon but it didn't surprise me because I saw him every day at training. I was super happy for him because he deserves it. When you play for Chelsea, you have competition in every position so you have to give your best and play at your highest level to be in the team at the weekend."
