Celtic are in talks with Chelsea over an extended loan deal for Charly Musonda.

The Daily Mail says Celtic were closing in on an 18-month loan deal for Chelsea playmaker Musonda on Friday.

The Parkhead club hope to have the 21-year-old attacking midfielder in Glasgow early next week despite late competition for his signature from Spanish club Leganes.

Musonda made a rare first-team appearance for the Stamford Bridge club in last weekend's 4-0 victory over Brighton, coming off the bench with nine minutes remaining to lay on the fourth goal.
