Chelsea’s Charly Musonda is reportedly on the verge of signing for Celtic before the transfer deadline – and there’s a lot of Chelsea supporters who’d hate to idea of the club allowing the promising youngster leave.
The 21-year-old Belgium international has been marked as a potential star amongst coaches at Stamford Bridge for some time now but hasn’t get enough first-team game-time under Blues current manager Antonio Conte.
According to The Herald, the young Belgian will sign for Celtic on-loan, potentially for the next 18 months, in a deal similar to the one which saw Manchester City’s Patrick Roberts join the Scottish champions.
Musonda was an unused sub for Chelsea’s 3-0 win over Newcastle in the FA Cup, and was left on the bench as the likes of Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ethan Ampadu were given run-outs.
It’s perhaps understandable why Musonda wants more playing opportunities – but these Chelsea fans want it to be in the club Blues’s jersey, rather than the green and white of Celtic.
Bhoys and girls, what do you think of the Musonda’s to Celtic situation. Would the young Belgian be an instant hit at the Parkhead? Let us know in the comment box below.
If Charly musonda goes to Celtic I’ll cry ??

I just do not know why Conte has not used Charley Musonda on a game like this he clearly doesn’t fancy the kid despite being very talented ? #chelseaFC #chenew

Absolutely ridiculous and disgusting were going to let Musonda join the equivalent of league 1 in going to Celtic in the Scottish league. Not going to progress up there would be better off playing him instead of now spunking £50m on a new winger in the summer. #CFC #Musonda

I don’t understand Charly Musonda’s proposed loan move to Celtic. If the kid is good enough play in the premier league why not find him a team in the premier league ??

Any other club with any sort of sense would never loan Musonda out. A player like him, with the likes of Willian and Pedro on the right wing, would be getting so many chances at any other club. #CFC

Loaning Musonda out is a mistake. He should be starting for us over Pedro and Willian. Can easily be miles better than both. I don't get this club.

Good win and a clean sheet but sticking with what I said, pissed off that Musonda didn’t start and Hudson Odoi didn’t get more time
