Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has missed training today for a meeting with club chiefs. The 28-year-old has been snapped leaving the meeting and was not present while the rest of the Rennes squad trained ahead of their trip to Nîmes on Sunday. Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is aiming to sign a new goalkeeper to compete for the number one spot with Kepa Arrizabalaga after the Spaniard made several high profile errors last season. Rennes president Nicolas Holveck admitted that the club are in negotiations with Chelsea about the player. Speaking at a press conference last week, Holveck said: "Yes there are discussions that have been initiated with Chelsea, no agreement for the moment – far from it. We know the value of the player and the man, I am unable to tell you what will happen. He is not in the worst club in Europe either. He can also play in the Champions League if he stays here."
