(Reuters) - Chelsea have signed right back Malo Gusto from Olympique Lyonnais on a deal until June 2030 and loaned him back to the French side for the rest of the season, the Premier League club said on Sunday.

Gusto, who has played in France's under-21 team, has played 15 times in Ligue 1 this campaign after the 19-year-old broke into the starting lineup last season.
