With West Brom registering interest in Charly Musonda, Newcastle must act quickly to sign him on loan.

According to reports from The Telegraph, Chelsea are willing to send Charly Musonda on loan for the rest of the season.

The Blues will let the exciting midfielder leave due to Ross Barkley’s arrival, and they want the attacking midfielder to join another English club.

It has sparked interest from a host of Premier League clubs with West Brom, AFC Bournemouth, and Watford all having been alerted of Musonda’s availability.

The 21-year-old has made two substitute appearances in the Premier League this season, and played in cup games for the Blues. However, with game time hard to come by, it will be crucial for his development to go out on loan.

Newcastle have been interested in Musonda for a while. The Magpies were keen to sign in the summer, and The Scottish Sun reported in December that they are interested in signing him in the January transfer window as well.

The Magpies must act quickly if they want to secure his signature this month. Rafael Benitez is keen to bolster his squad, and Musonda will be a very good signing. He can add depth and quality to the side.

The likes of Bournemouth and West Brom can equally tempt Musonda with the opportunity of regular games. Benitez could use his past link with Chelsea to bring him at St James’ Park, but the Magpies need to move quickly.
