Charly Musonda has joined Celtic from Chelsea on an 18-month loan deal after a long pursuit by Brendan Rodgers to sign the highly rated youngster.
The news was confirmed by Chelsea and Celtic Football Club and will wear the number 67 shirt.
The 21-year-old can play as an attacking midfielder or on either wing and is known for his for brilliant skill and his agility, as well as offering plenty of pace.
He’s been linked with a host of clubs around Europe such as Roma, Monaco and Marseille and for good reason given the talent he has shown in the past.
He began his career at Anderlecht’s youth set-up before moving to Chelsea in 2012, where he has featured for the under-18 and under-21 set-ups, before making his full debut for the senior squad in September of last year in the cup.
Musonda joined Real Betis on-loan in January 2016 though was recalled by Chelsea twelve months later under manager Antonio Conte.
The Belgian will be sure to add quality to Brendan Rodgers’ squad given there’s areas within the team that lack depth.
Fans will be excited to see what he can bring to the team and, if past performances are anything to go by, it seems like this could be a great move for both Musonda and Celtic.
