News about Malo Gusto

AADAM PATEL: Malo Gusto believes that Chelsea 'can be one of the best teams in the Premier League' next season after Mauricio Pochettino's side beat Brighton last night to put them on the brink of securing European football next season. 'We have a lot of talent. We know that. We can be one of the best teams in the Premier League,' said Gusto.'This season was not very good for us and we know the start of the season was complicated but we need to finish in a good way and that's what we're doing,' the full-back added.

Cole Palmer and Christopher Nkunku continued Chelsea's impressive late season form by scoring as the Blues secured a 2-1 win over Brighton. Palmer put Chelsea ahead with a header after the half hour mark, notching his 22nd Premier League goal of the season following a Marc Cucurella cross. Mauricio Pochettino's side doubled their lead when Nkunku slotted home from Malo Gusto's low cross in the second half. Reece James' late red card was followed by a Brighton rally, with Danny Welbeck scoring in stoppage time for the hosts.

This Chelsea is made of sterner stuff than earlier in the season. Chasing a European place and having lost only one in 13 league games, Raheem Sterling's solo strike levelled the match up after 80 minutes before another substitute, Reece James, on his comeback appearance set up Nicolas Jackson's winner. Chelsea's bench looked stronger than it has done in months, with Sterling, James, Christopher Nkunku, Levi Colwill and Malo Gusto all fit enough to take their place after injuries.

Cole Palmer is a doubt for Chelsea 's visit to Arsenal on Tuesday with Mauricio Pochettino confirming the Premier League 's joint-top scorer is likely to miss the game at the Emirates Stadium with illness. The 21-year-old did not train on Monday following his side's FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester City on Saturday, a loss that left them needing to secure a top-seven finish in the league if they are to end their year-long absence from European competition. The England international has been the standout player of an indifferent season for Chelsea, with seven goals in the team's last two home games having rocketed him to the top of the scoring charts alongside City striker Erling Haaland .

Nicolas Jackson had a solid reason behind his desire to take the Chelsea penalty that caused a squabble among Blues team-mates on Monday. Three Chelsea players were embroiled in a physical row before the hosts' fifth goal against Everton at Stamford Bridge, with Noni Madueke and Jackson involved in a squabble that had to be broken up by Conor Gallagher and Malo Gusto. Cole Palmer took control of the ball and scored his fourth of the game, but afterwards, it became clear why Jackson wanted to get a chance to score his second of the contest.  

Mauricio Pochettino was embroiled in a spat with Chelsea's former stadium announcer who accused him of 's*** management of his press conference' after the Blues thrashed Everton 6-0 on Monday night. The emphatic win was marred by a squabble involving four Chelsea players over penalty-taking duties. Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke forcefully took the ball off Malo Gusto's hands after the Blues were awarded a penalty in the second half.

Mark Goldbridge, a Manchester United fan, has gone viral after Cole Palmer netted a late brace. Chelsea's Conor Gallagher opened the scoring early on, leading to a deflected Malo Gusto pull-back to fire past Andre Onana shortly after Cole Palmer doubled Chelsea's lead from the spot.

Around this time of year, Chelsea vs. Manchester United was a match that had to be fought for. Whereas once these games determined title destinies and were eagerly awaited the world over, they are now pale recreations of the glory years. The game at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night may have occupied the primetime slot, but it is ultimately a match of 12th versus 6th in the Premier League. Chelsea and United once dominated English and European football; now both clubs give the appearance of being rudderless despite spending mindshaking sums in their hunt for Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal.

Chelsea could face Saudi Arabia in the summer after it became apparent that the club's chairman, Todd Boehly, spoke with Michael Emenalo during a recent visit to the Middle Eastern country's capital. Emenalo is the Saudi Pro League's director of football, having previously worked in Chelsea's boardroom. The meeting, which was reported to have been held in Riyadh in the last fortnight, would only add to rumors that the club is attempting to offload players to Saudi Arabia.

OLIVER HOLT: This is not the first time Jurgen Klopp has been asked a question, and it will not be the last. However, it's also incredibly relevant in the aftermath of Liverpool's emotionally charged win over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday afternoon. Is there really no way that you can be persuaded to stay?

Reece James, Chelsea's captain, has flown to Doha to continue his recovery after hamstring surgery in December. According to club insiders, this trip was always the intention at this point in his schedule, with James being welcomed in the Qatar capital by a member of the club's medical staff. The 24-year-old is hopeful of returning for the club's run-in, but his injury is being treated with caution as this is the second time he has been sidelined by a significant hamstring injury.

Chelsea's recruitment drive in the last season and a half has raised eyebrows, but one NBC analyst has stated that the large number at Stamford Bridge was in anticipation of an impending transfer ban. Since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital bought the Blues for £4.25 billion, a lot has been updated in both the transfer policy and the playing staff at Stamford Bridge. They've already passed over the £1 billion mark, bringing together a number of young, if untested, players on long contracts to create a team that will be strong in the future.

Chelsea put on a much improved showing to defeat Aston Villa 3-1 and advance to the FA Cup fifth round. Following Noni Madueke's passing, Conor Gallagher set the visitors on their way to his first goal of the season. Nicolas Jackson led the Blues to a cross from the impressive Malo Gusto to.

LEWIS STEELE AT ANFIELD: Liverpool defeated Chelsea 4-1, keeping their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League intact. However, Darwin Nunez, a Liverpool striker, didn't score despite hitting the woodwork four times and establishing a new Premier League record, making it a mixed evening. Lewis Steele, Mail Sport's Liverpool reporter, gives his player evaluations from Anfield.

When Chelsea announced their £107 million deadline day move last January, they set the bar very high for him. After reaching an agreement with Benfica after a month of waiting, the new world champion jetted into London on a private jet. Fernandez was initially described as 'one of the most promising young players in world football,' by the Blues, who later described him as 'one of the most promising young players in world football.'

Following Senegal's AFCON departure, Christopher Nkunku and Malo Gusto will return to Chelsea's squad for Wednesday's trip to Liverpool, and they may even welcome back Nicolas Jackson if he is able to make a quick return. Forward Nkunku has played in Chelsea for the last five games due to a hip injury and Gusto's last two games due to a muscle injury. Mauricio Pochettino wrote: 'I think it's great news that Malo Gusto and Christopher Nkunku will be in the squad,' we're fortunate that they will travel with us.' It's positive news, and we're waiting to see if there are any surprises in the coming days.'

After spells on the sideline and closing in on returns, the French pair has returned to full training, but they will miss Aston Villa's FA Cup fourth round tour on Friday. Nkunku, who suffered with a knee injury in the first half of the season, has been out more recently with a hip injury missing Chelsea's last four games. Gusto, a right-back, lost 6-1 Carabao Cup, their semi-final second leg victory over Middlesbrough on Tuesday.

ADRIAN KAYUMBA (Kadout): After Chelsea defender Malo Gusto escaped from a red card during their 1-0 victory on Saturday, Fulham captain Tom Cairney said he was 'bamboozled' by inconsistency in refereeing decisions. After catching Willian with the follow-through of a studs-first challenge, Anthony Taylor was only booked by him in the first half at Stamford Bridge. VAR Michael Salisbury's decision not to upgrade Gusto's punishment was a "mistake," according to Cairney, but the one that was overturned on appeal was just a yellow card... I'm just bamboozled.

Chelsea midfielder Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that he and his Chelsea players were 'affected' in the first half against Fulham on Saturday by something that had happened pre-match but refused to elaborate. Pochettino was in an honest mood after the game when he said his Chelsea full-back Malo Gusto was 'probably' lucky not to be sent home after the match, and he continued his approach when analyzing his team's results.

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino said young full-back Malo Gusto was 'probably' lucky not to get sent off for his reckless studs-up challenge on Willian in Saturday's victory over Fulham. Willian was left in agony as a result of the competition and a red card would not have been out of place, but the 20-year-old managed to get away with just a yellow, avoiding a four-match ban.

During Fulham's 1-0 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, manager Marco silva regretted that he did not give Malo Gusto a red card for a challenge on Willian. Due to a penalty by Cole Palmer at the end of the first period, the Blues were out narrow winners on Saturday afternoon. And, despite warning late in the Premier League clash, the visitors were left irritated by Gusto's call on Willian, which left the Brazilian writhing in pain when the defender's studs clamped down on his ankle.

After only receiving a yellow card for a strong assault on Willian during Chelsea's Premier League match on Saturday, Malo Gusto can feel incredibly fortunate. Gusto had some minor contact with the ball but then went out of his way to make good contact with Willian's shin with his studs. On replay, it seemed to be a bad one, and viewers were unable to believe that the Frenchman stayed on the field.

OUR KATHERIAN KAJUMBA BRIDGE AT STAMFORD BIDGE: Mauricio Pochettino's side won in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon, bringing a 4-0 win over Preston at Stamford Bridge. With Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer coming close in the first 45 minutes, the Blues started the game in second gear, giving Preston many chances and missing several of their own. The Blues discovered their ryhthm in a goalless first half, with Malo Gusto playing in a fine cross to Armando Broja who's glancing header causing Chelsea to break the deadlock.

STAMFORD BRIDGE: Chelsea beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at Stamford Bridge, with Noni Madueke winning and scoring the winning penalty. After a good build-up game from French right back Malo Gusto, it was Mykhailo Mudryk who gave Chelsea the lead with a well-planned goal. But the Blues were stumbling back just before halftime, when Michael Olise was able to take the ball down with ease and volley past Djorde Petrovic.
