Charly Musonda's availability for a six-month loan deal has piqued the interest of a number of Premier League clubs.

The highly-rated 21-year-old has become surplus to requirements after the £15m arrival of Ross Barkley from Everton.

Musonda returned to Stamford Bridge in the summer after a season-long loan with Real Betis. He has since struggled for playing time and was mired in controversy when he criticised Chelsea on social media over his lack of first-team opportunities.

Now he might be shown a lifeline, as the Telegraph reports that Bournemouth, Watford, Newcastle United and West Bromwich Albion have all expressed an interest in renting his services.

Chelsea have dealt with all the clubs in the past but would require guarantees over the Belgian's playing time before sanctioning any move.
