Chelsea take key step towards securing Malo Gusto deal

Chelsea’s January transfer window looks far from over despite having made six new additions this month.

Mykhaylo Mudryk, Benoît Badiashile, João Félix, Noni Madueke, Andrey Santos and Detro Fofana have all arrived at Stamford Bridge in January.

Now, the Blues are attempting to sign a right-back and Lyon’s Malo Gusto is their number one target.

Chelsea agree Gusto personal terms

Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Lyon right-back Malo Gusto, according to Fabrizio Romano.

It is understood that the Blues have already had a bid rejected for the 19-year-old.

However, talks remain ongoing between the two clubs and the west London club are not giving up.

The player is very keen to move to Stamford Bridge and dreams of playing Premier League football.

Gusto has become a key player for Lyon this season having started 15 times for the club in Ligue 1.
