Celtic are set to sign Chelsea sensation Charly Musonda on an extended loan and Blues fans are not exactly thrilled about it.

BBC Sport report Musonda is close to agreeing an 18 month loan deal at Celtic which means he will not play for Chelsea until the 2019/20 season.

Musonda is 21 and has been tipped for the top for several seasons but found it tough to crack the first team at Chelsea.

He has had limited opportunities this season, and despite scoring for Chelsea in the Carabao Cup, it has been a backwards step after a loan at La Liga side Real Betis last season.

For Chelsea fans the loan is proving a tough one to take.

Several of their young players have been loaned or sold and there is a worry that the clubs is mis-managing their talented pool of youngsters.

Fans would like to see Musonda given a first team run although this does not appear to be on the agenda.

The second problem is the choice of club. While Celtic have European football on offer this year and next, Chelsea fans are concerned that the Scottish Premiership is simply not competitive enough, and he will still return to England in 2019 with a big point to prove.
