Chelsea have been one of the most active clubs in the January transfer window so far and it wouldn't be surprising if the club continues to do business right up until the window slams shut on Tuesday.

Joao Felix, David Fofana, Andrey Santos, Benoit Badiashile, Noni Madueke and Mykhaylo Mudryk have all made the move to Stamford Bridge this month to help the side improve their poor run of form in the Premier League.

The Blues are currently 10th in the top-flight table after 20 outings with just 29 points collected out of a possible 60 so far and manager Graham Potter will be hoping the new additions can strengthen the team enough in his pursuit to climb the table into one of the Champions League qualifying spots inside the top four.

Despite the number of incomings already, the west Londoners continue to be linked with moves for Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Olympique Lyonnais right-back Malo Gusto with the latter a possible opportunity for Potter to add depth to his right-back position.

The promising 19-year-old has become one of the hottest prospects in Europe ranking in the top 20% of his positional peers for assists, shot-creating actions, passes attempted, pass completion, interceptions and dribbles completed.

Chelsea's football.london writer Bobby Vincent has lavished praise on the Lyon ace hailing him both a "real talent" and "dangerous" when putting together a scouting report recently. he said:

"Malo Gusto is very dangerous going forward. He's very quick and athletic and has an eye for a cross on the right-hand side. Also, he's very good at defending one-versus-one situations. Looks a real talent."

In fact, Potter could even land his very own Dani Carvajal with the Real Madrid sensation named as the most comparable player to Gusto over the last 12 months, according to FBref.

The two full-backs have several similarities in their output over the season so far including assists (one v one), pass completion rate (81.4% v 85.3%), goal-creating actions (0.14 v 0.10), clearances (19 v 24) and shots total per 90 minutes (0.42 v 0.58), also via FBref - these display the great attacking attributes that could be highly valuable to Chelsea to stay consistent with the prowess of Reece James on the right flank.

With that being said, the signing of Gusto would be a great piece of business for the powers at Stamford Bridge if they can complete a deal before the window closes and with a reported bid being prepared worth £30m, it would give Potter some like-for-like depth in the right-back position without breaking the bank.
