What's the story?

With the transfer window coming to an end soon, Bayern Munich are reigniting their interest in Chelsea prodigy, Callum Hudson-Odoi, despite competition from other clubs.

According to trusted media outlet Daily Mail, the Bundesliga giants have made a fresh bid for Hudson-Odoi.

In case you didn't know...

The 18-year-old winger from England is known for his artistry on the flanks. His burst of pace and ability to break through rigid defenses makes him a player with huge potential, which is why Hudson-Odoi is generating a lot of interest from top clubs in Europe.

Hudson Odoi is touted to become a world class player if he keeps improving, but he has not been given enough playing time to prove his worth at Chelsea. His brilliance has been seen in patches due to his limited game time. As a result, the young and talented youngster is seeking a new club.

The heart of the matter

Bayern Munich will be without pivotal wingers like Ribery and Robben in the near future, as they are far from their peak, and not getting any younger. There is no doubt the Bundesliga giants are trying to secure the services of Hudson-Odoi in a bid to rebuild their forward line.

Meanwhile, Hudson-Odoi is desperate to prove his worth, and seeks a move away from the club. According to the report, the Chelsea youngster is set for the move either this week or in the summer.

Hudson Odoi has a contract with his current club till 2020. Chelsea are trying their best to keep the player, as they have reportedly offered a huge deal to persuade him to renew his contract.

Rumour rating: 6/10

With a few days left in the winter transfer window, most teams will be working extra hard to secure their targets. It's no different with Bayern Munich, as Hudson-Odoi is on top their wish list.

What's next?

Bayern Munich will meet Liverpool in the next round of the UEFA Champions League. While Niko Kovac's Bayern seems to have handled their initial setbacks, they are still pursuing Borussia Dortmund in the league.

On the other hand, Chelsea are focusing on the Europa League, EPL, and the cup competitions. It is crystal clear the Chelsea board will give it their all in a bid to keep the talented youngster.
