Hudson-Odoi fears last-gasp transfer plea to join Bayern from Chelsea will be blocked until summer
Chelsea forward, 18, will ask to leave for the Bundesliga giants before Thursday’s 11pm transfer window deadline
CALLUM HUDSON-ODOI fears his last-ditch plea to join Bayern Munich will be blocked until the summer — in case he becomes a Champions League star.
The Chelsea forward, 18, will ask to leave for the Bundesliga giants before Thursday’s 11pm transfer window deadline.
But Blues chiefs have refused to sanction the £35million switch.
They risk him becoming the next youngster to shine away from Stamford Bridge after letting Kevin De Bruyne and Mo Salah slip through their fingers and become superstars.
And Hudson-Odoi could make an instant impact in Europe as he is eligible to face Liverpool in Bayern’s last-16 Champions League tie next month.
The Germans believe he can slot straight into their first team and join fellow Premier League export Jadon Sancho as a star of the Bundesliga.
Hudson-Odoi could land a bumper new Chelsea contract but is prioritising his development over cash.
Boss Maurizio Sarri has given the teen more playing time since Bayern registered their interest — but that has added up to just 61 minutes of Premier League football.

SunSport revealed that the teen sensation handed in a transfer request on Saturday evening in a bid to force through a move to the Bundesliga champs.
He is believed to be sick of not getting enough chances in the first team - he was an unused sub in the Carabao Cup semi-final win against Tottenham.
