Chelsea have reached an agreement with Lyon to sign right-back Malo Gusto, football.london understands.
On Friday evening, the Blues finally made a breakthrough for the 19-year-old defender. Chelsea will pay Lyon €30million (£26.3million) – with add-ons – to sign Gusto once the season is over.
It is understood Lyon were determined to keep Gusto beyond this month, but with the defender wanting the move, their hand was forced somewhat. Chelsea have showcased – with their six signings so far – this month that they will pay what it takes to secure key targets to improve Graham Potter's squad.
