[BBC] What happened to former Chelsea wonderkid Charly Musonda?

> Managers Maurizio Sarri and Lampard had come and gone, and Thomas Tuchel was now in charge at Chelsea.
>
> “I met Tuchel in the car park and he told me he knew who I was from Dortmund and to be ready for the following pre-season,” Musonda said. “I came back and was told to sign a contract at half my salary and to go out on loan by Petr Cech and Carlo Cudicini, the loan coach.
>
> “I was also told I would be training with the under-23s but I pulled one of Tuchel’s coaches aside and he said it was a mistake – that I was travelling with them to Ireland the next day for the tour. I trained there and I got Covid. A nightmare.
>
> “When I returned, Tuchel told me there was some animosity in the front office. I said I would have played for free that season to prove myself at Chelsea and that if I wasn’t good enough, I would walk away when my contract expired.

I thought this section was quite interesting – not sure who would’ve had animosity for Charly Musonda of all people.

Just another example of having all the talent, but no luck. To make it to the very top in football you need to have so much go your way, as well as having the ability. Shame that we never got to see what he could do. Everything I heard and read about Charly at the time made me think he was going to be a superstar for us.
