Liverpool join Bayern in pursuit of Chelsea’s Callum Hudson-Odoi

Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich for the past month, but the England under-19 international could yet move to a club closer to home.

German outlet Bild reports that Premier League leaders Liverpool have entered the race to sign the 18-year-old, who is out of contract this summer.

Despite Bayern confirming last week that they are in talks with Chelsea over singing Hudson-Odoi, Bild reports that Liverpool have made a late offer and have met with the player.

Whether Hudson-Odoi is convinced that he would see any more of the first-team football he craves at Anfield or the Allianz Arena than he does at Stamford Bridge is likely to be the key to settling his future.
