Gusto penned a contract until 2030, but will stay with Lyon until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old will likely provide competition for Reece James, who continues to struggle with injury problems.

Gusto is a France Under-21 international and one of the most promising young defenders in Ligue 1.

Since making his debut in 2021, he has featured 54 times for Lyon.
