Report: Champions League club weighing up shock January swoop for Chelsea star | OneFootball

Serie A giants Juventus are plotting a January move for Chelsea right back Malo Gusto according to reports in Italy.

Gusto joined Chelsea from French side Lyon in the summer of 2023, and has shown himself to be a capable alternative to Reece James.

The France international hasn’t had the best start to the season, and Gusto was stupidly sent off in the win against Nottingham Forest. 

Juventus eye move for Malo Gusto

He missed Chelsea’s defeat to Sunderland through suspension, but could well return to the starting line-up for the Carabao Cup tie against Wolves on Wednesday.

Enzo Maresca is clearly a fan of the Frenchman, but other clubs seems to be taking notice, and Gusto was linked with a move to Bayern Munich in the summer.

However, Italian outlet Juve FC have reported Juventus are considering a winter swoop for Gusto if they can’t land Atletico Madrid’s Nahuel Molina.

The report adds Gusto is viewed as an alternative option to Molina, but there’s no mention of a potential fee or if Chelsea would be open to business.

The 22-year-old has made ten appearances in all competitions this season, and has registered two assists, and it’s likely he will have key role to play throughout the campaign.

Reece James back to his best

Whilst the former Lyon man is linked with moves to other clubs, James is now back to his best, and it looks like his injury problems are behind.
