Tottenham Hotspur Are Among The Clubs Hoping To Land This Chelsea Ace: Should De Zerbi Go For Him?

Tottenham Hotspur Are Among The Clubs Hoping To Land This Chelsea Ace: Should De Zerbi Go For Him? In a recent report , journalist Graeme Bailey mentioned that Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs hoping to land Chelsea ace Malo Gusto. It has been claimed that Spurs would have to compete with Manchester City, Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, AC Milan, Como and RB Leipzig in the race to sign the French talent next year. Gusto’s Important Role For Chelsea This Season Gusto has served as a crucial role for the West London club in this campaign so far after he produced a string of solid displays for them in the Premier League. The 23-year-old has picked up one assist in ten matches for the Blues this season across all competitions. The French defender is currently one of the most talented full-backs in the Premier League. Thus, it is no wonder that Spurs are in the running to land him next year. His current contract at Stamford Bridge will expire in the summer of 2030, which could make it difficult for Tottenham to sign him in this January transfer window or at the end of this campaign.

Gusto is a good tackler of the ball and can sense the danger well to earn possession back for his team inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the front foot and is a decent passer as well from the back. The French sensation is a good crosser of the ball as well and can chip in by creating the odd goal for his side. Gusto is primarily a right-back but can also serve as a left-back if asked to do so. He is already quite familiar with the Premier League and won’t take any time to adjust to life at Tottenham if they manage to bring him on board in 2027. We can expect Gusto to bring more quality and depth to Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi’s defence. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. At 23, Gusto has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a worthy target for the North London club to pursue next year. Thus, De Zerbi would be wise to go for him soon.
