Boost for Tottenham as Chelsea could sell 23yo target who Maresca tried to lure to Man City in the summer

Chelsea could reportedly decide to sell right-back Malo Gusto during the January transfer window amid interest from Tottenham Hotspur. The 23-year-old French defender remained at Stamford Bridge after a proposed summer move failed to materialize when Manchester City balked at Chelsea's £75 million asking price. With Tottenham dealing with defensive injuries, Spurs have reportedly joined European giants including Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus, and PSG in monitoring Gusto.

Tottenham previously signed Chelsea's Tosin Adarabioyo permanently and acquired Mykhailo Mudryk on loan with a £75 million purchase option. Although Gusto has made three Premier League starts this season, potential lack of regular playing time could prompt a permanent departure in January, though no official talks or bids have occurred yet.
