Chelsea have bee praised and criticised for many of their new signings within the last couple of seasons.
The squad has been gutted out and completely changed within two years since the new owners came in to the club, and the massive changes have had a real effect, sometimes positively, and sometimes negatively. But it has made for a VERY inconsistent start for the new owners at the very least.
EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea scout Newcastle player this week and meet with Toon owners – Chelsea’s owners share a good relationship with Newcastle’s owners, and it could lead to some business!

But one of the best and smartest signings they have made so far is Malo Gusto. The right back has been absolutely superb since arriving from Lyon in January 2023.
Fabrizio Romano recently confirmed the obvious and says that Chelsea have been ‘super happy’ with Gusto since he arrived.
🔵🇫🇷 Chelsea are super happy with the investment they made on Malo Gusto in January 2023.
Real fee spent to sign French RB was £26m, as #CFC anticipated two clubs from abroad also keen on Malo.
7 assists, excellent performances and club more than happy with his development. pic.twitter.com/weuP8zja2G

For me, I think they need to now use Gusto as the blueprint to new signings, proving that we don’t need to smash £100m on a single player and we could sign four top quality players like Gusto, who I call smart signings, for the price of one! It just makes too much sense for me and we should utilise the top talent spotters we now have at the club.
