Ask any Chelsea fan regularly attending games at the moment about who is impressing them, and they’ll surely say Malo Gusto.
The stats back up what we’re seeing in the games. He’s so far clear of other right backs in the Premier League it’s crazy. There’s nobody playing more crosses and more key passes than Malo this season. The graph posted below shows him as pretty far in front as the best in the division.
And just for your biweekly reminder – he’s only TWENTY, but plays like a 25 year old
