CHARLY MUSONDA has revealed that he broke down in tears after deciding to leave Chelsea.
The 25-year-old arrived at Stamford Bridge back in 2012 with the Blues having huge hopes for the Belgian.

“Even the post on Instagram, I wasn’t going to be too emotional with it because I didn’t want to go long into the details and go long into the memories of everything.
“I spoke with Petr Cech in August on the phone and after those talks, I knew straight away, okay, I’m going to leave in August here, there is nothing else I can do.
“After the phone call, I was literally crying because I’d been there for a while.
“Even now, it’s going to take some time to get around it.”
