Liverpool have been linked with a move for Chelsea starlet Callum Hudson-Odoi, but the bookmakers aren’t convinced the transfer has legs.
Reports have linked Hudson-Odoi with a move to Anfield, but the powers that be are convinced he’ll either stay at Stamford Bridge or move to Bayern Munich.
Oddschecker have got the starlet at 1/4 to be with Chelsea at the end of the January transfer window, with a move to Munich seen as a straight up 2, or 4/11.
According to the media, Hudson-Odoi has turned down a bumper contract worth £85,000-a-week in order to force his move away from the Blues. The forward wants more first team football, and believes it’s easier to come by in the Bundesliga.

Chelsea have just signed striker Gonzalo Higuain on a short-term deal, and this has lead to more frustration. And thus, the 18-year-old now expects to be moved on before the end of the winter transfer window.
That destination appears to be Germany, but Liverpool are interested in the English youngster and are primed to fight Munich for a few targets.
As well as Hudson-Odoi, Jurgen Klopp is also interested in bringing RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner to Anfield. But this time, the Reds are in the driving seat and a deal could actually be done.
Daniel Sturridge is out of contract in the summer and Divock Origi’s future appears to be outside of Merseyside, so there is the potential for a forward restructure in the summer.
If Werner came to the club, it would give Klopp the option to mix and match his forward line – while enabling Rhian Brewster to be the third choice striker.
Brewster is recovering from an injury, but signed a professional deal with Liverpool on the basis of first team football to enable him to develop as a player. The summer is going to be exciting, keep an eye out!
