Chelsea are reportedly set to rival Manchester United for the signature of Lyon right-back Malo Gusto, with both clubs considering moves in the January transfer window.

Chelsea and Manchester United are set to battle for the signature of Lyon defender Malo Gusto.

Gusto has been a prominent figure in the Lyon team this season, starting 13 of the club's 14 Ligue 1 games, and his performances have led to reports of a possible departure.

According to Sports Illustrated, Chelsea and Man United are both looking to sign the right-back when the transfer window reopens in January.

With Man United prepared to let Aaron Wan-Bissaka leave the club in January, they have identified Gusto as a possible replacement, who could provide competition to Diogo Dalot.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have previously enquired about signing the 19-year-old, and they are keen to bring in backup for Reece James.

Gusto, who is under contract until June 2024, has made 52 appearances for Lyon, chipping in with six assists.
