One of Chelsea’s great prospects Charly Musonda has admitted he is dreaming about a move to Barcelona.

Musonda, 19, who was targeted by Arsenal and Manchester City in January, is impressing on loan at La Liga side Real Betis.

Musonda opted to join Chelsea over Barcelona in 2012 only because the Blues agreed to also offer deals to his elder brothers, Lamisha and Tika.

But when asked about the prospect of one day turning out for the Catalan giants, the Belgium Under-21 international said: "I might play for Barcelona in the future.

"I could but I chose Chelsea for my family. In football you never know what might happen."

Musonda arrived at Chelsea from Anderlecht's academy four years ago, but has not yet made a senior appearance for the club.

He is currently spending the second half of the campaign on loan at Betis, where he has impressed since sealing a move in January.
