Charly Musonda's entourage have been blamed for his career stalling at Chelsea.

The midfielder struggled after signing an 18-month loan with Celtic in January and it was cut short at the end of the season after he played just eight times for the Hoops.

But Ajax's Belgian scout Urbain Haesaert isn't surprised that his career has hit a few bumps and believes he went to Chelsea too soon from Anderlecht.

He told Sport/Voetballmagazine: "It is because of the entourage that chose fast money and enjoyed the praise of Jan Boskamp. He missed part of his training, it'd been better if he stayed at Anderlecht. Musonda has a formidable basic technique, but only used it for himself.

"My advice is still: first try two years with success in the first team of Anderlecht or Ajax to play.

"If you play for two years in the firsts of Ajax or Anderlecht, you will not get poor, you will get what you have apparently left behind. Then, after, you can get a good transfer at the right time to the right club."
