Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign Lyon defender Malo Gusto, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Blues have been determined to land the Frenchman over the past few days and they have now finalised a transfer.

The club were hoping to bring him in the current transfer window, but have now accepted to sign him in the summer.

The west London giants will pay an initial fee of around €30 million for the 19-year-old, who is an attacking right-back.

The news will come as a huge blow for Manchester United, who were heavily linked with him earlier in the campaign.

United could now turn their attention to Inter Milan star Denzel Dumfries, who is free to leave the club when the season ends.

His agent is already in London to speak with interested teams and it is claimed the she is in regular contact with United.

Erik ten Hag is reportedly a big admirer of the 26-year-old Dutch star.
