Celtic wrapped up an 18-month loan deal for Chelsea winger Charly Musonda on Monday.

Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers is a big fan of the 21-year-old who he tried and failed to sign last summer.

But Rodgers has got his man in a move which has delighted fans of the Parkhead club.

And it appears as if Musonda was a popular man at Stamford Bridge, with Antonio Rudiger wishing him well on Twitter.

Celtic's head coach Brendan Rodgers talks during a press conference in Brussels on September 26, 2017 on the eve of the Champions League group B) football match against RSC Anderlecht.

The Belgian attacker will surely add plenty to a Celtic attack which has looked rather limp as of late.

Rodgers’s side have only managed five goals in their last four Premiership games which, by their own high standards, could be a lot better.

But the Northern Irishman has plenty of injury problems to contend with – particularly on the wing, with Patrick Roberts and Jonny Hayes on the sidelines – and Musonda should certainly add competition for the likes of Scott Sinclair and James Forrest.
