Borussia Dortmund opened talks with Chelsea with regards to signing Callum Hudson-Odoi and suggested a swap deal with Christian Pulisic.

Chelsea chiefs are still hopeful of keeping the 18-year-old winger, who has become frustrated at a lack of opportunities in the first team and his questioning his long-term future at Stamford Bridge.

Hudson-Odoi has started just two matches under Maurizio Sarri, while fellow England youngsters Jadon Sancho and Reiss Nelson have enjoyed plenty of game time having ditched the Premier League for the Bundesliga.

The teenager is viewed as Chelsea’s finest young attacking prospect, but Stamford Bridge chiefs are beginning to accept he may have to leave as he continues to stall on a new deal.

A serious offer from an overseas club could force their hand, according to Goal, with Bayern Munich and Dortmund both in the hunt to sign him, while European giants Real Madrid and Juventus are also considering moves.



Dortmund are hoping to take advantage of Chelsea’s interest in their young winger Pulisic, who is a top target for Sarri, and they offered a swap deal between the two attackers.

The offer was dismissed by Chelsea, who are still hoping to tie him down to a new five-year contract.

Bayern Munich remain the favourites to sign Hudson-Odoi as they look to find a long-term replacement for Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben.
