Malo Gusto is open to a move away from Chelsea in January, according to a report from The BBC.

While the French international might have made 34 Premier League appearances last season, Gusto has drastically struggled to hold down a regular spot under Xabi Alonso.

Although Chelsea skipper Reece James might be recovering from yet another long-term injury issue, the 23-year-old has not made a Premier League start in almost two months and The BBC are suggesting that Gusto is growing increasingly frustrated in west London.

With Alonso electing to play academy graduate Josh Acheampong at right-back, Gusto is quickly becoming a forgotten man at Stamford Bridge and is now keen on a fresh adventure away from SW6.

Despite eventually staying put in west London following the summer transfer window, it has been suggested that the Chelsea hierarchy were keen on cashing in on the former Lyon youngster.

The BBC are also reporting that Alonso’s side value the 16-cap international in the region of £75million and are once again open to allowing their wantaway defender to leave the club in January.

Coming off the bench as a second-half substitute during Chelsea’s shock 1-0 loss against Sunderland last weekend and making his 100th appearance for the Blues, it has previously been reported that Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca is keen on a reunion.

Malo Gusto is open to a move away in January. The France international hasn’t started a PL match in nearly two months. His view has been amicably communicated internally. Chelsea valued him at £75m in the summer.
