How Much Have Chelsea Spent In January Transfer Window?

Chelsea have signed Lyon defender Malo Gusto, who is the Blues' seventh signing in the ongoing January transfer window.

Gusto became the latest addition to Graham Potter's squad, but the right-back will be loaned back to Lyon for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign.

The other six players secured by Chelsea in the underway winter window are João Félix (from Atletico Madrid), Benoît Badiashile (from Monaco), David Datro Fofana, Mykhailo Mudryk (from Shakhtar Donetsk), Andrey Santos (from Vasco de Gama) and Noni Madueke (from PSV Eindhoven), with more signings expected before deadline day.

Chelsea During January 2023 Transfer Window

• Malo Gusto - $33 million, six-and-a-half-year-contract (loan back to Lyon for the remainder of 2022-23 season)
• Noni Madueke - $43 million, seven-and-a-half-year contract (option for an extra year)
• Mykhailo Mudryk - $109 million, seven-and-a-half-year contract (option for an extra year)
• Benoît Badiashile - $42 million, seven-and-a-half-year contract (option for an extra year)
• João Felix (six-month loan) - $12 million fee plus 100% wages (no option to buy)
• Andrey Santos - $14 million, long-term contract
• David Datro Fofana - £12million, six-and-a-half year contract (option for an extra year)
• Gabriel Slonina - returning loan transfer from Chicago Fire
• Jayden Wareham - returning loan transfer from Leyton Orient

Gusto has made the move from Lyon to Chelsea on a seven-and-a-half-year contract. The 19-year-old defender, who will end the 2022-23 season at Lyon, has made 15 appearances for the Ligue 1 side this term.

The Stamford Bridge side has continued to be busy in the underway January window after a massive run of $310 million over the 2022 summer, where they bought Wesley Fofana, Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang — as well as a bunch of young players too.

It is believed that Chelsea beat the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham in the race to secure Gusto, who is an academy product of Lyon.

Chelsea have managed to clinch just one win in their last five Premier League outings and are currently struggling in 10^th place in the 2022-23 league table. The Blues' next fixture is a home league match against Fulham Friday.
