Recruited for 35 million euros (bonus included) last winter, then left on loan at Olympique Lyonnais until the end of the season, Malo Gusto made his debut with Chelsea this summer. Confident, the right-back hopes to benefit from his experience with Les Gones.
Without rejoicing over the injury to Reece James, Malo Gusto nevertheless took advantage of favorable circumstances for his debut at Chelsea. The right-back only arrived this summer, having been left on loan at Olympique Lyonnais after his transfer last January, seemed set to play understudy. At least until the unavailability of the captain of the Blues, probably absent for many weeks due to a muscle injury. The Frenchman has started the last three Premier League matches without trembling.

We must not forget that he is our captain. He is important for the team and for the club. I must now take advantage of this opportunity to replace him well and show that I can play. »
“Nothing new for me”
« When you sign for a top club, you expect to rub shoulders with big nameshe continued. I know I have the qualities, that’s why I’m here. It was a similar situation in Lyon. Dubois was also the captain. So this is nothing new to me. I always learned from these situations. It’s important to have this kind of competition. We are starting to have a good team with good understanding and, of course, with a good manager (Mauricio Pochettino, editor’s note). Now we have to bring Chelsea back to where they belong. » Of course, Reece James represents a much tougher competitor.
