French giants Monaco are ready to come back to sign Chelsea starlet Charly Musonda.

Monaco had a £10million offer turned down in the summer but will try again in January and Chelsea could be open to the offer.

Belgium Under-21 starlet Musonda, 19, is regarded as one of Chelsea’s best young prospects but their academy has been struggling to get players into the first team.

That has alerted several clubs — Arsenal are reportedly one of Musonda’s admirers as they were linked in the French media with an £8m bid last summer.

But Chelsea persuaded him to stay with the hope of a first team chance which has not arrived and has alerted Monaco.

The French side are ready to make another offer for a permanent deal but are also ready to try to sign the ex-Anderlecht midfielder on loan if Chelsea allow him out.
