In 2020 he was signed by Chelsea and became an absolute starter, being decisive in winning the Champions League 2020-21. For Senegal, he was champion of the African Cup of Nations 2021, the country's first continental title, and participated in the 2022 World Cup. In 2021 he was elected the best goalkeeper in the world by FIFA and received the Yashin Trophy. Since 2023 he has been defending Al-Ahli, from Saudi Arabia.
