Leicester City 'join race for Chelsea's Callum Hudson-Odoi'

Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has reportedly emerged as a late transfer target for Leicester City.

Borussia Dortmund enquired over the weekend whether the Blues would be prepared to sanction a season-long loan deal for a player who is yet to feature in the Premier League this season.

While Thomas Tuchel takes time to contemplate the offer, it was claimed that an unnamed Premier League team had also made an offer for the 20-year-old.

According to football.london, Leicester are the club in question as they bid to make an attacking addition before Tuesday's deadline.

The report suggests that Chelsea are likely to snub any proposal unless they are able to find a replacement for a player who is also acting as backup for the wing-back positions.

Hudson-Odoi has three years left on his contract, leaving Chelsea with plenty of leeway to negotiate terms which suit their plans for the academy graduate.
