Here is another confirmation this Sunday morning. It’s not very usual for a non-working day, but since it’s the end of the transfer window, deals are being signed all over the place. Mostly at Stamford Bridge. Where else… Chelsea continued signing new players. As of today, the young French right back Malo Gusto (19) is officially a member of the Blues, the London club announced.At first, the English side relatively easily eliminated the first interested party for this guy. It was Bayern Munich, and then in a few days they managed to break the resistance of Lyon. Although known as a difficult negotiator, Jean-Michel Aulas managed to box-out really excellent terms.##NAJAVA_MECA_6978730##Chelsea initially offered 20,000,000 euros and wanted Gusto right away. Lyon demanded 40,000,000 and for the player to stay on loan until the summer. In the end, the Blues will pay 35,000,000 and still leave the new reinforcement in the parent club for another six months.In this way, Graham Potter significantly strengthened the competition along the right touchline. Reece James will remain the first option when he recovers, while Malo Gusto should be his back-up, and is also a replacement for veteran Cesar Azpilicueta.Gusto is Chelsea’s seventh signing this winter and 15th since this summer. The two-time champion of Europe thus raised the spending on new signings in the last six months to 495,000,000 euros!And it probably won’t end there. We are waiting to see the outcome of the Moises Caisedo saga…‘I’m a fast player, a crosser and box-to-box.’Getting to know Malo Gusto! 💬 pic.twitter.com/YE1p0LPahH— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) January 29, 2023
