Celtic push Chelsea for 18-month Musonda loan deal

Chelsea forward Charly Musonda has the choice of a number of clubs during the January window, with Brendan Rodgers' Celtic among those pushing hard to secure his services on an 18-month loan deal.

Antonio Conte is keeping Musonda in his thoughts for an FA Cup game with Newcastle United on Sunday, with Alvaro Morata and Willian out injured, but will likely sanction a move for the 21-year old next week as the transfer deadline approaches.

Leganes, Real Betis and several Premier League and Championship clubs have shown an interest in the highly-rated winger, but Chelsea are keen to ensure that an academy graduate gets the maximum amount of game time wherever he ends up.
