Wonderkid to leave Chelsea in spite of coach efforts to convince him to stay

Belgian wonderkid Charly Musonda is still holding out for a transfer away from Chelsea this summer transfer market, according to Inside Futbol.

The pacy winger had reportedly been restless at West London club, and was eager to depart from the Blues during the transfer window.

New manager Maurizio Sarri has seemingly been not able to convince the Belgian ace that his future lies with Chelsea, with the latest updates indicating Charly is still angling for an imminent departure.
The 21-year-old star was a youth product of Anderlecht, before the Blues poached him in 2012. Since signing a professional contract with EPL giants in 2016, Musonda has been loaned out twice.

Spending the best part of two campaigns on loan at the La Liga side Real Betis, the forward made 24 appearances in his time in La Liga.

A 2017-18 move to the Scottish club Celtic would see chances at minutes more limited for Charly Musonda, with just eight appearances for the Belgium Under-21 star.


With the closing of the transfer deadline for EPL clubs, Musonda won’t be able to join any English sides on a permanent deal until January, although foreign teams can still splash the cash for the Brussels-native.
