According to a report from RMC Sport, Chelsea are prepared to agree on a new deal with Malo Gusto, even though he has not been able to perform at a high level regularly.
The West London club paid €35 million to sign French defender, who has been quite inconsistent since moving to Stamford Bridge, and his performances have not been up to the mark. However, Chelsea still value him as a player, and they are ready to keep him at the club for the long term.
It will be interesting to see if Gusto is willing to sign a new contract with Chelsea in the coming weeks. The Frenchman will want to play regularly at this stage of his career, and the Blues will not be able to provide him with such assurances.
There is no doubt that the 2003-born full-back is a quality player, and he has shown his quality in France prior to the move to Chelsea. It will be interesting to see if he can recapture that form in the coming months and establish himself as an important player for the West London club.
The Blues will be hoping to fight for major trophies, and they need the collective efforts of a quality squad. There is no doubt that Gusto could be an important player for them. Chelsea paid €35 million when they signed the French defender, and they will hope that he can establish himself as an important player in the near future.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to continue playing for them can be attractive for most players. It remains to be seen what Malo Gusto decides. It will be interesting to see if he is willing to take on the challenge and a new contract with the Blues.
Gusto has been linked with multiple clubs in recent weeks and there is no doubt that he has the quality to play for big clubs. The French defender will perhaps hold talks with the Premier League club regarding his game time before committing his future to them.
The 22-year-old Frenchman is still quite young and he has plenty of time to develop further and fulfill his potential. If Gusto can work hard in training, there is no reason why he cannot be the first-choice right-back at Chelsea for the foreseeable future.
