Chelsea interested in Tottenham target Gusto – Romano

, Romano provided the latest update on the 19-year-old defender.

“Chelsea are tracking right-backs, and one player they are monitoring for sure is Malo Gusto,”

“He’s a player they appreciate, they’ve been following him. He’s a player who has been on their list for a long time, so it’s true that Chelsea are interested in Malo Gusto.

“He’s one of the players on that list, together with Denzel Dumfries, and other players in that position.

“At the moment, there’s still no official bid from Chelsea, so let’s see how it will continue next week for the Malo Gusto deal.

“But, at the moment, still no official bid or club contact.”

Gusto doesn’t appear to be Tottenham’s number one target in this area, although Chelsea aren’t the only team they’re competing with.

It would be a real hammer blow for Spence if Gusto were to come in.

The Frenchman is younger than Spence, and has a lot more top-flight experience.

If a right-back does come in this month, Spence will need to leave Tottenham on loan, unless one of his teammates is sold.

His minutes will be reduced even further if he ends up being fourth choice.
