5 Chelsea players who need a great pre-season to save their career

#1 Charly Musonda

Musonda will feature prominently in pre-season for Chelsea

Charly Musonda, who is a product of the infamous Anderlecht youth setup in Belgium, joined Chelsea back in 2011 but only made his competitive first team debut in their 2017 Community Shield clash against Arsenal. The Belgian winger made 3 appearances from the bench in the Premier League under Antonio Conte last year and has often drawn comparisons from Chelsea superstar Eden Hazard, due to their similar style of play and nationality.

Musonda's best loan spell came at Real Betis during the 2016/17 season where he impressed and amassed around 24 appearances for the club. However, the recall in December last year did not work out exactly in his favour at Stamford Bridge and after struggling to find regular involvement with the first team, he was loaned out to Celtic in January.

The 21-year-old mustered only 4 appearances for the Scottish champions during his time at Celtic Park under Brendan Rodgers and with uncertainty surrounding the future of Willian at Chelsea, Musonda will be hoping to convice Maurizio Sarri that he is ready to become a regular in South-West London.
