Musonda to replace departing Oscar?

Belgian news outlet DH reckon Oscar’s exit means Musonda might be drafted in as midifeld cover.

However, Sky Sports claimed earlier this week that Musonda is wanted by Roma.

It was suggested the Serie A club want the 20-year-old attacker on a short-term loan deal this winter.

Musonda has already had a temporary stint with Real Betis this season, making eight league appearances for them.

But he struggled for form and fitness throughout the campaign and is now back training with Chelsea.

The Belgian admitted in October that he has not spoken to Blues boss Antonio Conte but is desperate to play in the English top flight.

“There’s feedback with people from Chelsea,” he said.

“I’ve never actually been in direct contact with Antonio Conte, but the club are keeping an eye on their players’ performances.

“My dream is to play in the Premier League, I’m going to continue my efforts to reach that objective.”
