Transfer news: Chelsea on alert as European giants revive their interest in young Blues star

Bayern Munich interested in Blues forward Callum Hudson-Odoi

Bayern Munich are still in pursuit of Chelsea prospect Callum Hudson-Odoi, according to the Sun. The 18-year-old winger is cited as a replacement for Arjen Robben, who recently left the Bavarians.

It looked as if Bayern had cooled their interest and turned their eyes towards Leroy Sane after witnessing Hudson-Odoi’s Achilles injury.

Now, the Bundesliga title winners have revived their interest as the Blues teenager is eyeing for a fast recovery.

Hudson-Odoi suffered the injury against Burnley, which ruled him out for the rest of the season. He rose to prominence this season after impressing in the pre-season games under manager Maurizio Sarri.

The teenager has racked up 6 goals and 7 assists this season across all competitions. Furthermore, his breakthrough season at Stamford Bridge led to his debut for the England national team – the second youngest ever debutant after Wayne Rooney.

The Blues are now undergoing a transfer ban which lasts up to next two transfer windows. The Londoners concluded their Premier League season, finishing third in the table in Sarri’s first season in England.
