Chelsea have completed the €40 million (£35.1m) signing of Malo Gusto from Lyon but the 19-year-old will remain on loan with the French club for the rest of the season.

Lyon have confirmed that Chelsea will pay €35m (£30.7m) plus a further €5 million (£4.4m) in bonuses.

A statement from Chelsea on Sunday read: ‘The exciting 19-year-old right-back has signed a contract at Stamford Bridge to summer 2030 and heads back to France for the remainder of the current campaign to continue with Lyon in Ligue 1, where he has made 15 league appearances.

‘The defender will now continue his impressive progress on loan at the Groupama Stadium before joining up with the Blues in the summer ahead of the new campaign.

‘Chelsea would like to thank Lyon for enabling Malo to take up this new opportunity.’
