The pool of blossoming young talents at the disposal of the reigning Premier League champions, Chelsea, isn’t an unfamiliar one to the football fraternity. The Blues, however, also have truckloads of world-class names in their books, owing to which the starlets do not get much game time under their belt.
The London based outfit are a massive club with big aspirations and unless the youngsters prove their mettle elsewhere for some time, basically during their loan spells, they certainly cannot find themselves in the vicinity of the starting line-up.
Antonio Conte is a shrewd manager and one of the players to be on his watch is Charly Musonda, whose development does hold substantial importance.
Musonda is someone who has immense potential and at this stroke of the hour, it is important to navigate him properly. As per one of the latest reports by the Evening Standard, Conte is keen to ship him out on loan in January to garner experience as he is not yet considered to be ready to play in the first team regularly, at least this season.
Besides, the Pensioners do have the likes of Willian, Pedro and Eden Hazard in their arsenal as well to use. Considering that he might be available in the upcoming transfer window, someone like Brendan Rodgers might be interested to make a move for him. His Celtic side clinched the domestic treble last season and his move to the Celtic Park has the ingredients to be a win-win situation for the player and both the clubs.
The former Liverpool boss is a perennial admirer of young guns and he does nurture them in an astute manner, with Kieran Tierney, Patrick Roberts and Moussa Dembele being the recent examples. Musonda possesses blistering pace and excellent control on the ball and also has the stamina to toil relentlessly. Besides, the 21-year-old dribbles well and creates an adequate amount of opportunities for his teammates and no wonder why his stocks are highly rated.
Frankly speaking, the dazzling technical and tactical understanding that the Belgian has shown so far could be an appealing one for the Hoops, for they would laying their hands on a quality player. With domestic as well as UEFA Champions League fixtures up ahead, Rodgers would need to refill his armoury and there is no reason why he should not attempt to get Musonda on board for the second half of the campaign.
