Edouard Mendy has been named the Saudi Pro League’s Best Goalkeeper for the month of April, recognising a series of outstanding performances for Al Ahli.
The Senegalese international played a pivotal role across all four of Al Ahli’s fixtures during the month, showcasing the form that once made him one of Europe’s most feared shot-stoppers.
The Saudi Pro League officially announced the award on Monday, honouring Mendy’s consistent excellence between the posts.
Now in his second season in Saudi Arabia, the 2021 African Cup of Nations champion has re-established himself as one of the world’s elite goalkeepers.
Despite Al Ahli currently sitting in fourth place with ten matches remaining, Mendy’s individual displays have consistently shone through in what is arguably his best campaign since his move from Europe to the Gulf.
“🇸🇳 @edou_mendy_ ‘s performances over the course of April have earned him the month’s Goalkeeper of the Month award,” the Saudi Pro League posted on social media, celebrating the former Chelsea star’s achievement.
Since his transfer, Mendy has been a cornerstone for Al Ahli, bringing invaluable experience and stability to the squad.
His sharp reflexes, commanding presence, and leadership at the back have been instrumental in helping Al Ahli remain competitive in a fiercely contested season.
Mendy’s resurgence is seen by many as a testament to his professionalism and resilience.
After a challenging end to his time at Chelsea, the Senegalese keeper has rebuilt his confidence and form, becoming a fan favourite at Al Ahli.
His performances throughout April, including a number of crucial saves that preserved valuable points for his team, were pivotal in earning him this latest accolade.
The award not only highlights Mendy’s return to top form but also solidifies his reputation as one of the standout goalkeepers in the Saudi Pro League this season.
As the campaign heads into its decisive final weeks, Mendy’s presence will be vital if Al Ahli are to mount a strong finish.
With the Saudi Pro League gaining increasing global attention, Mendy’s continued excellence offers a powerful reminder of his enduring quality at the highest level.
