Edouard Mendy joined Al-Ahli as the Senegal goalkeeper became the third player to leave Chelsea for Saudi Arabia since the end of the season.
Mendy is reported to have cost Al-Ahli around £16 million after he opted to leave the Premier League club having lost his place to Kepa Arrizabalaga in the second half of last term.
"Having started his career in the lower tiers of French football - and even spending several months without a club - Mendy rose to the pinnacle of European football with Chelsea," a statement on Chelsea's website said. He fell out of favour following Thomas Tuchel's sacking as Chelsea manager in September, with his successor Graham Potter and then interim boss Frank Lampard both preferring to use Kepa in goal.
