Senegalese international and former Chelsea goalkeeper Édouard Mendy is considered a legend of football.

Becoming the first African to be awarded both the UEFA and FIFA goalkeeper of the year in 2021, followed by a big money transfer deal to Saudi Arabia, Mendy has reached the very heights of the game.

But football careers don't last forever, so he is diversifying, and can now add a new line on his CV - as an investor in Francophone Africa.

We hear about his work on the pitch to date, what’s motivated a move into fintech, and why he thinks footballers need to plan for their future after they give up the professional game.
