CHELSEA youngster Charly Musonda has reached a decision on his future, according to reports.

| Charly Musonda has reportedly agreed a loan deal to Real Betis |
The midfielder has been heavily linked with a loan move away from Stamford Bridge in recent weeks.
Musonda, who has attracted interest from Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, was said to be on he verge of leaving the club amid uncertainty over his future.
The Daily Mail reported earlier this month that the Blues were set to put Musonda on the market with the club insisting any potential suitors would have to contribute towards his £12,000-a-week salary.
But Chelsea were said to be reluctant to loan their academy graduate to a Premier League rival.
And French publication Foot Mercato claim a loan deal has now been agreed with La Liga side Real Betis.
The report claims the 19-year-old will join Betis on a 12 month loan without an option to purchase at the end of his contract.
An insider close to Musonda reportedly told Foot Mercato: "On reflection of the competition at Chelsea in the middle and in attack, Charly and his entourage decided that the best solution is for him to continue to progress.
"The idea is to continue to earn playing time and to come back even stronger in a year.
"Some details still needed to be finalised before formalising the transfer.
"The loan is on track with just some loose details to tie up. Charly could be present in Spain by the end of the week."
Musonda signed a new deal with the Blues in March last year that keeps him with the west London outfit until 2019.
The Belgian has represented his country at Under 15 level through until the Under 21s, but is yet to earn his first senior cap.
