Report: Barcelona join race to sign Callum Hudson-Odoi

Callum Hudson-Odoi emerges as a rumoured transfer target for Barcelona, who are ready to rival a number of fellow European giants for the Chelsea forward's signature.

Barcelona are reportedly the latest side to have shown an interest in teenage Chelsea forward Callum Hudson-Odoi following his dazzling displays for England over the past week.

The 18-year-old became the second-youngest player to start a competitive match for the Three Lions on Monday when playing a major part in his side's 5-1 win over Montenegro.

Hudson-Odoi also impressed on his debut against Czech Republic last week, but his playing time at club level has been limited under Maurizio Sarri, failing to start a single Premier League game.

That has not put Bayern Munich off making three bids for the youngster, the most recent believed to be in the region of £35m, while Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea's domestic rivals Manchester United have been tipped to make a move.

According to the Daily Mail, meanwhile, another European giant - Barcelona - will look to take advantage of the forward's uncertain situation at Stamford Bridge by making an official approach.

However, Chelsea are said to be determined to keep Hudson-Odoi in place and they could offer him a run of games to convince him to turn down the likes of Bayern and Barca.
