Chelsea defender Malo Gusto is assessing his options before the January transfer window.

The 23-year-old is away with the France team but has increasingly become a fringe option under manager Xabi Alonso at Stamford Bridge.

Gusto has not started a Premier League match for more than two months and has increasingly lost his place to Josh Acheampong at right-back, despite captain Reece James being injured.

It is unclear what Chelsea's stance is, but they were open to selling Gusto in the summer and set a £75m asking price for potential suitors.

Manchester City, now led by former Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, were among the interested clubs, although it remains unclear whether they retain an interest.

Gusto made his 100th appearance for Chelsea as a substitute in the 1-0 defeat at Sunderland before the international break.

He joined from Lyon in 2023 for £26.3m and remains under contract until 2030.
