Likely the back-up right-back for France in behind Barcelona’s Jules Kounde, Chelsea defender Malo Gusto has forced his way into Didier Deschamps’ squad this summer. Gusto joined Chelsea from Olympique Lyonnais in 2023 and he has gone on to make well over 100 appearances for The Blues. The 23-year-old full-back provides a versatility that he has shown at Chelsea, often filling in for injury-prone Reece James at right-back but also capable of playing at left-back, which is a spot that is a little more open in Deschamps’ setup.
