The French prodigy was acquired by the Blues in the 2023 winter transfer window but was loaned back to his parent club, Olympique Lyon, until the end of last season. While many raised their eyebrows at the amount paid by the West London outfit for a 20-year-old, the €30m fee now looks like a bargain for Gusto (source: Transfermarkt).
