Italian Serie A side Fiorentina are interested in signing Chelsea wonderkid Charly Musonda, 21.

According to Sportitalia, the Viola want to take the Belgium youth international on loan for the remainder of the season.

The Italian club want to acquire Musonda outright at the end of this season and this is not music to Chelsea's ears.

Scottish champions Celtic are also exploring ways to sign the attacking midfielder before the close of the transfer window.

In England, the highly-rated youngster has been linked with possible moves to Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, Watford, Newcastle and West Brom.

In December, Musonda, whose father represented the Zambian national team, penned a new contract that will keep him at Chelsea until the summer of 2022.
