Liverpool express interest in signing Chelsea youngster?

Liverpool are understood to have made contact with the representative of Callum Hudson-Odoi regarding a potential move away from Chelsea.

The teenager has just 18 months remaining on his existing deal with the Blues and so far, he has shown no ambition of penning an extension amid his reduced gametime at the Bridge.

According to The Bild, Bayern Munich are leading the queue to sign the Blues graduate and they remain optimistic of landing his signature this month despite failing with three separate bids.

However, it is added that they could face potential competition in the form of the Reds, who are said to have held talks with the player's agent and brother Bradley.

Hudson-Odoi has already made his mind up to turn down a contract package from the Blues but the club have yet to decide when they are going to consider the forward's sale.

Bayern are prepared to make a fourth bid of around £40m towards the end of the winter transfer window and that may yet be sufficient to tempt the Blues into a mid-season deal.
