Chelsea have made a move to secure the future of one of their brightest prospects.
Chelsea announced on Friday that Charly Musonda had signed a new contract which would keep him at Stamford Bridge until 2022 at least.
The Belgian youngster had emerged as a target for Premier League rivals Arsenal after complaining about his lack of chances under the current Blues manager.
However, Musonda has now agreed a new deal and the Belgian has expressed how happy he is after signing a contract extension.
“I am very happy and very proud. I came here very young and am very happy to continue my journey here.” Musonda said
“I love this club so it’s a great moment for me and my family. Now I want to establish myself and progress into the team and stay here permanently.”
“We are very happy Charly has committed his future to the club,” Club director Marina Granovskaia added
“He is an exciting talent who we believe can develop into an important first-team player and we hope he will be a part of Chelsea’s successes for a long time to come.”
