Good news for Chelsea as Malo Gusto passes Chelsea medical set for debut sooner

If not anything this is a moment for happiness for Chelsea as Malo Gusto have completed his medicals and has passed without any issues.

Lyon fullback Malo Gusto has passed his Chelsea medical in London.

The Blues have struck a £26.3million deal with Lyon to sign the highly-rated defender, who will stay on loan in France for the remainder of the season.

Chelsea were keen to bring in a right-back alternative to Reece James and identified 19 year-old France under-21 international defender Gusto.

The Blues were met with initial resistance to their interest from Lyon with president Jean-Michel Aulas publicly declaring Gusto ‘will continue to play’ for Lyon until the end of the season.

He will join Christopher Nkunku as a pre-agreed summer arrival after Chelsea also finalised a £53m deal to sign the France forward from RB Leipzig.
