Malo Gusto has admitted he gets inspiration from the way Thiago Silva conducts himself on the pitch.

The pair have played together at Chelsea in recent weeks, following the injury to Reece James, who is Chelsea’s main right-back.

Silva is the most experienced player in both the Premier League and the Chelsea squad, and many of his teammates look up to him, including Gusto.

“He’s one of the greatest defenders in the world,” Gusto told RMC Sport of Silva.

“He’s always on top and focused on what he’s doing. Seeing that he’s always giving it his all is something that’s beautiful and inspires me a lot.”

Gusto recently received his first French national team call-up, and is expected to take part in the game against the Netherlands and Scotland.
