SECURED: Musonda over the moon after penning new Chelsea deal

Charly Musonda was in a buoyant mood on Thursday afternoon and rightly so.

The highly-rated 18-year old Belgian midfielder signed a four-year deal with Chelsea which will see him remain with the current Premier League leaders until 2019.

Musonda joined the Blues' youth academy from Anderlecht in 2012 alongside brothers, Tika and Lamisha, and has impressed greatly at youth level with the west London club.

Upon signing the deal, Musonda wrote the following message on his Instagram account: "This is a very proud moment for me.

"As I sign my new four-year contract with Chelsea I thank the club for making me and my family feel at home for the past three years, as I've enjoyed my progression in the youth team.

"It is my dream to play in this great club in near future, day by day working harder. No other place I'd rather be. #Blessed #CFC #AmazingMoment."
