Gusto has made 54 appearances for his hometown club and Chelsea view him as long-term competition for Reece James. Gusto described himself as a "box-to-box" player in a short video on Chelsea's website. "I choose Chelsea because it's a big club and I like the project," he said.
The Denmark midfielder sustained a knock at the start of the second half and was then caught on the ankle by Reading forward Andy Carroll, who saw red in the second half of the match for two other bookable offences. After the match, footage was shared on social media of Eriksen hobbling away from Old Trafford to give Erik ten Hag an injury headache, though the manager said he must wait before he knows the extent of the problem. "It's always difficult to say in this moment so short after the game has finished," Ten Hag said in his post-match press conference.
