Malo Gusto (Spanish for 'bad taste') of Lyon could be the new signing in this Blues' spending-spree window
The London shopaholics - as we recently labelled Chelsea - are back on track with their extravagant transfer policy. Now they want to strengthen their defence, too, with a young right-back being targeted to provide cover for Reece James.
The Blues are in talks with Olympique Lyon for Malo Gusto, but the French side is eager to keep the 19-year-old prospect until at least July.
However, the Blues want a deal now as they are aware other clubs - such as Manchester United and Tottenham - are interested in the France U21 international.
Chelsea are still hoping to land right back Malo Gusto from Lyon this week, per multiple reports

Reece James has played just once for Chelsea since October 11 due to a knee injury, with the sole appearance - against Bournemouth last month - seeing him aggravate the issue and return to the sidelines.
The England international also missed several months of the 2021-22 season with a hamstring injury.
