Celtic face disappointment in their pursuit of Chelsea winger Charly Musonda.
The Daily Mail reported earlier this transfer window that Celtic were eyeing a double deal for Musonda and Chelsea teammate Dominic Solanke.
They have already missed out on Solanke who has signed with Liverpool, and now Musonda is likely to be of the table too.

According to Belgian national newspaper Nieuwsblad, Musonda is determined to stay at Chelsea this summer and push for the first team next season.
After an impressive spell out on loan at Real Betis, Musonda wants to give it his all to try and work his way into Antonio Conte’s first team plans.

Musonda has represented Belgium at every level from under-15s through to under-21s, and is a very talented prospect in need of regular football.
The 20-year-old has a tough time breaking into the champions’ first team, but in one sense his stance is understandable.
Give it his all in 2017/18, and if it does not work out, he can look for a permanent move away, rather than spend another year out on loan and put off a battle for the Chelsea spot by another 12 months.
