As reported by The Daily Mail, Celtic are interested in signing Chelsea duo Charly Musonda and Lewis Baker during this month's transfer window.

What's the story?

The Hoops have made just one addition to Brendan Rodgers' first team squad this January, defender Marvin Compper.

With injuries mounting in other areas and big matches on the horizon, it's a squad that could do with freshening up before the transfer deadline is up.

One player said to be firmly on their radar is Chelsea fringe star Charly Musonda, according to The Daily Mail.

The paper reckon that the club are interested in either a loan or permanent transfer deal, with the Belgian failing to win a regular start under Antonio Conte this season.

The report also says that the Hoops are interested in another young Blues star, Lewis Baker, who has spent the first half of the season on loan at Championship side Middlesbrough but could be recalled this month.

Problem solver

Now 21 years of age, Belgian youth international Musonda is at a critical stage of his development as a Chelsea player and it looks increasingly likely he will never make the vital breakthrough that will allow him to star regularly at Stamford Bridge. So far this season he's featured just six times and has just 25 minutes of English Premier League action under his belt.

There's no shame in not making the Chelsea team though and with loan spells at the likes of Real Betis behind him, he has the talent to make an impact in the Scottish Premiership.

A versatile player who has the ability to play through the middle or on either wing, he could provide much needed depth to attacking midfield areas, especially important considering Tom Rogic, Jonny Hayes and Patrick Roberts have all suffered long-term injuries this season.

According to Transfermarkt, he's rated at £4.5m, putting him within range of Celtic for a permanent transfer.

The Hoops have helped many young players develop in recent years and with a fine footballing education behind him and significant potential, Musonda could be an excellent signing indeed.
