Newcastle United made a late attempt to sign Chelsea new boy Malo Gusto, according to reports. Bobby Vincent of our sister title Football London claims the Magpies made an approach at the 11th hour to sign the Lyon defender.
Nonetheless, it was Graham Potter's Chelsea that won the race to sign the young defender. Gusto has signed a six-and-half year contract at Stamford Bridge, but will spend the rest of the season on loan with the Ligue 1 side.
The Blues have spent €35million on the teenage right-back, who is viewed as one of the hottest prospects in European football. His arrival sees Todd Boehly's side continue their spending spree.
