It’s rare that a player attracts so much attention after so relatively few Premier League minutes, but that’s where we are with Chelsea wonderkid Callum Hudson-Odoi.
The immensely-gifted 18-year-old has just made his England debut after impressing whenever he’s got into Chelsea’s first-team this season, and even before he’d made the bulk of his appearances for the Blues he’d been a top January transfer window target for none other than Bayern Munich.

Remarkably, Hudson-Odoi was targeted not once, but four times by Bayern in the winter, according to Sky Sports, with the player keen to leave Stamford Bridge at that time.
Now a few other names seem to be in the frame, but what would be the best next move for him? Read on as we take a look at the options…
Bayern Munich
If he’s not playing much at Chelsea, would he really get much more in the way of minutes at a club like Bayern Munich?
The Mail claim CHO will be a target for the Bavarian giants again this summer, and there may well be an opening as ageing duo Arjen Robben and Frank Ribery head towards the end of their Allianz Arena careers.
But even after that there’s Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry, Thomas Muller and maybe James Rodriguez if he makes his loan move permanent – some truly huge names to compete with.
While it’s tempting to look at the likes of Jadon Sancho and Reiss Nelson getting game time and developing well in Germany, we’re not convinced Bayern actually represents the same opportunity.
