After spending six years at Leicester City, Nampalys Mendy let his contract expire and left for free this summer. He didn’t settle well at the club and had limited game time. Now he’s at RC Lens and enjoying playing Champions League football.
Originally brought in to try and help with the exit of N’Golo Kanté, the midfielder never managed to fully settle at the King Power Stadium, and spent a lot of his time watching his teammates from afar, and even went on a loan to OGC Nice during the 2017-18 season.
After six years at Leicester City, Nampalys Mendy eventually let his contract run down and left the Championship side on a free this summer.
He’s now much happier in France at Lens, where he has started all three of their Champions League games, and featured in three of their last six Ligue 1 fixtures.
