A terrific season, left-back Ferland Mendy made 44 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals and providing three assists. Attracting interest from several top sides around the world, the club that he has been strongly linked to is one of La Liga's giants - to be specific, Real Madrid.
Today, giving a presser ahead of France's next clash against Andorra, France maager Didier Deschamps spoke about the 24-year-old: "Two years ago he was playing in the second division. Now, he is on the verge of joining Real. He is very good and knows how to play on both flanks."
