He began the 2021-2022 season as the replacement for Léo Dubois, and became the youngest defender to start a Ligue 1 game for OL since Samuel Umtiti. Despite being behind Dubois in the hierarchy, Gusto still performed well under Bosz’s direction, starting games such as a 2-0 Europa League win against Rangers and a 2-1 Ligue 1 loss against Paris Saint-Germain.
