Scottish champions Celtic have this evening confirmed the loan signing of Chelsea starlet Charly Musonda.




Musonda, a 21-year-old Belgian youth international, has been on the books of Chelsea since 2012, when he joined the club’s academy from Anderlecht.


The gifted attacking midfielder/winger has long been regarded as one of the finest talents in the youth ranks of the Blues, but has unsurprisingly struggled for first-team chances at Stamford Bridge, with the likes of Eden Hazard, Willian,Pedro and more currently sitting ahead of the Red Devils’ internationalin the pecking order at the club.


To this point in the current campaign,Musonda had appeared just 6 times for Chelsea (2 starts), contributing 1 goal and 1 assist during his limited first-team minutes.


And, as per breaking news spreading across social media this evening, Musonda has indeed left Chelsea, with the Belgian having completed a long-anticipated loan move to Scottish giants Celtic:

Speaking at Lennoxtown yesterday, the Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers said: “There were around 24 clubs that were interested in taking Charly, so for him to want to come here and for Chelsea to very happily let him come to Celtic is a great coup for Celtic.


“It’s a really exciting prospect to the club. Charly is big talent I’ve known for a few years now, and it’s a big thank-you to Chelsea Football Club because he’s really one of the shinning lights in their academy and has progressed through with various loans and has been part of their first-team squad.


“It’s a club with many fans, an unbelievable passion, and the culture is more than a club." Charly Musonda speaks after putting pen to paper on an 18-month loan deal.

Once considered a physical therapy aid or an exercise tool for the elderly, resistance bands have finally been accepted for the important workout tools they are. Since varying your workout is the key to avoiding a plateau, incorporating resistance bands can be extremely beneficial. Why They Work Resistance bands allow you to use fluid movements and achieve a good range of motion throughout each exercise. Differing from free weights, resistance bands keep the tension through the concentric and eccentric phases of exercise — the phases where the muscles shorten and lengthen.

He told Real president Florentino Perez he would be leaving on Wednesday before informing captain Sergio Ramos. "I know it is a strange moment for everyone involved," said Zidane. "But it had to be done for everybody. "This team has to continue winning and need a change. After three years they need a new voice, a new way of saying things - possibly another way of working.
