This follows Ben Jacobs writing yesterday in his exclusive CaughtOffside column that it could take as much as €40million for Chelsea to persuade Lyon to sell one of their best players.
The talented French right-back looks ideal to come in and fill the void that’s been left by Reece James, who has had a nightmare with injuries this season.
Chelsea have had a busy January, but Jacobs noted in his column that Chelsea are yet to bring in the right-back and midfielder that they wanted at the start of the window.
Gusto could be ideal as their next target to follow new additions such as Mykhaylo Mudryk, Joao Felix and Benoit Badiashile.
