Todd Boehly has been shown why Chelsea must complete the signing of Lyon star Malo Gusto. The 19-year-old defender has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge lately as the Blues look to finally sign a back-up to Reece James.
football.london understands that Gusto has agreed personal terms with the west London outfit and that he's eager to join. But, Chelsea are yet to have met the French side's valuation; it's said that the Blues' first proposal was nowhere near Lyon's asking price.
While it's understood that Laurent Blanc's side want to keep the France youth international, a second offer is imminent. Chelsea have been in desperate need of a right-back who can cover for James and the latest statistic proves why Gusto is the perfect understudy.
