Chelsea youngster Charly Musonda heading to Real Betis on loan [HLN]

There has been much speculation over the future of Charly Musonda in recent weeks.

The highly-rated Chelsea youngster is seemingly still a long way off the first team at Stamford Bridge.

This is despite some fine performances from Musonda in the Chelsea Under-21 side and with the Blues first team struggling for much of the 2015/2016 season.

On Thursday morning, it was announced that Musonda’s short-term future looks to have been resolved.

Musonda will move to Real Betis on loan for 18 months. The Spanish side will not have an option to buy the Belgian winger which suggests he still has a long term future at Chelsea.

A spell in La Liga should do Musonda the world of good with Real Betis currently in 14th position, four points off the relegation zone.

Musonda is yet to announce the deal on his social media accounts. But has been confirmed by HLN journalist Sven Claes.
