Benjamin Mendy started his professional career with Le Havre and joined Marseille in 2013 before moving to AS Monaco in 2016.

He played 25 Ligue 1 games for the Les Monegasques and was regarded as one of the league-best full-backs during his time at the Stade Louis II. Mendy was a part of the UNFP Ligue 1 Team of the Season 2016-17 and also helped AS Monaco win the Ligue 1 2016-17 season.

However, his stay in Monaco didn't last for long and Mendy joined Manchester City for a fee of £52 million in 2017. He is currently an important part of the Cityzens' lineup and helped them win the Premier League last season.

The French international Djibril Sidibe joined AS Monaco from Lille in 2016 and established himself as one of the best right-backs in the world with the Les Monégasques.

He played a vital role in Monaco’s run to the Ligue 1 title and also to the Champions League semi-final during the 2016/17 season. He was a part of UNFP Ligue 1 Team of the Season 2016/17 and also contributed two goals along with eight assists to his team's success.
