Malo Gusto
23-Year-Old
Chelsea
Premier
Alternative option at right-back
Gusto has been named in France's World Cup squad as a decent alternative option on the right flank of the back line.
ANALYSIS
Gusto wrapped up the campaign as a steady, high-energy presence for Chelsea across the season, and even though the second half proved much more challenging, he still delivered defensively and offered a reliable attacking outlet down the right whenever called upon. The right-back is up against serious competition for a starting spot, with Jules Kounde firmly locked in as the first choice and Warren Zaire-Emery also an option in that role, leaving Gusto lower in the depth chart for that position. Still, his call-up is a strong reward for a solid individual season in which he posted three goals, five assists, 36 chances created, 89 crosses, and 73 tackles across 45 appearances (35 starts) in all competitions for the Blues, giving manager Didier Deschamps valuable depth on the right flank in case any of the players ahead of him run into fitness issues during the tournament.

ANALYSIS
Gusto has been unable to secure a regular first-team role at Chelsea and continues to rotate on the right side of the defense. Juventus are looking to bolster the right side of their defense, and Gusto is at the top of their list, although any move would have to wait until January at the earliest. The Serie A giants are expected to kick the tires on the availability of the Frenchman in the coming weeks to gauge the chances of where a move for Gusto is realistic or not.
