Career
Born in Mindelo, São Vicente, Mendes began his career with hometown club Batuque FC and in 2008 was sold to Le Havre AC,[2] with whom he played his first game in Ligue 1 on 13 May 2009 against AS Saint-Étienne.[3] He was monitored by Leicester City scout Steve Walsh, who instead signed teammate Riyad Mahrez to the club.[4]
Mendes joined Lille in 2012. He missed the second half of his first season after having surgery on a right ankle tendon and remained on the sidelines until December 2013. He told the league's website that he was not going to retire despite the injuries.[5]
On 4 September 2015, he joined English side Nottingham Forest on a season-long loan.[6] On 24 September 2015 he scored his first goal for the club in a 1–1 draw with Huddersfield Town.[7]
International career
He is also member of the Cape Verde U-21 national team[8] and played formerly with the U-16 on an International Tournament for Under-16 years old players in Gonfreville-L'Orcher.
