Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi reportedly tells the club that he wants to leave amid interest from German champions Bayern Munich.

Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has reportedly told the club that he wants to leave amid interest from Bayern Munich.

Hudson-Odoi has been the subject of four offers from the German champions already this month, the most recent of which is understood to be worth £35m.

The 18-year-old's current deal at Stamford Bridge expires in 2020, and Chelsea are eager for him to pen fresh terms on a new five-year contract.

However, the Daily Mail reports that Hudson-Odoi has lost faith in manager Maurizio Sarri's commitment to developing him after he was left out of the team to face Newcastle United on Saturday.

The youngster had impressed in back-to-back cup matches for the Blues but was limited to only a nine-minute cameo off the bench against the Magpies - just his second Premier League appearance of the season.

Hudson-Odoi is keen for more regular first-team football and now believes that Bayern would be the right option for him, having seen Jadon Sancho burst onto the scene with Borussia Dortmund.

However, Chelsea want to include a buy-back clause in any deal before sanctioning the exit.
