Liverpool enter race to sign wantaway Chelsea star?

Liverpool have reportedly opened discussions with the representative of Callum Hudson-Odoi regarding a potential move away from Chelsea in the summer.

The 18-year-old recently earned his maiden appearance with the England senior side but he continues to remain unsettled at the club level with the lack of regular gametime with the Blues.

Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United have been among the high-profile clubs linked during the international break but Kicker claims that the Reds have joined the pursuit of the youngster.

Furthermore, it is suggested that they have jumped ahead of the queue in the player's pursuit after making initial contact with his entourage regarding a possible switch to Anfield.  

Hudson-Odoi has just one more season remaining on his existing contract with the club and so far, the teenager has been reluctant to pen a renewal with Maurizio Sarri offering no assurances of gametime in the league.

The England international has been a regular feature in the Cup and European competitions this term, but he has managed just six substitute appearances in the league without a single start.
