Sky Sports pundit, Gerry Armstrong, believes that Charly Musonda will be a brilliant signing for Celtic.
The 20-year-old has been on Chelsea’s books since 2012, but he is yet to make a Premier League appearance with the Blues.

The Belgium Under-21 international spent the second half of the 2015-16 campaign and the first half of 2016-17 season on loan at Real Betis.
Armstrong believes that Musonda will be a ‘real deal’ for the Hoops if they can sign him for £5 million this summer.
The La Liga expert says that the Belgian would be a ‘superb investment’ for Celtic, as he has all the raw ingredients to be a superstar.
Armstrong adds that Musonda is a highly talented player who just needs regular opportunity at the first team level.
At Celtic, Musonda will be able to fulfill his potential, and then the Bhoys can sell him at a higher price and make a profit out of his deal.
“Musonda is a very talented player. He just needs the opportunity to play regular first-team football,” said Armstrong, as quoted by The Daily Record.
“This lad has real potential though. A fee of £5 million may seem big for Celtic but signing a player like Musonda could turn out to be a superb investment for the club.
“Brendan has seemingly been scouting the player for some time and he will know more about him than anybody. He clearly likes what he sees.
“Musonda certainly possesses all the raw materials to be the real deal. If Celtic sign Musonda and he goes onto fulfil his potential then Celtic will be able to sell him on for many millions more.”
