Callum Hudson-Odoi has been a long-term target for Aston Villa, who want to sign the Chelsea wonder-kid on loan in January.

But recent reports have indicated that Aston Villa now face an uphill task in their attempts to sign Hudson-Odoi.

Premier League pair Burnley and Southampton have been linked with a loan swoop for the teenage talent.

But Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Juventus and Arsenal all want Hudson-Odoi on a permanent deal, according to The Sun.

With more and more clubs entering the race for the 18-year-old winger, do Aston Villa stand any chance of landing him in January?

Well, the Villans might just have a trump card up their sleeve to boost their chances.

Aston Villa seem to have a good relationship with Chelsea and with John Terry as the assistant manager, the Blues might be inclined to lend the West Midlands side a hand.

In the summer, Chelsea let talented young striker Tammy Abraham move to Aston Villa on loan.

And the 21-year-old has been in fine form, netting 10 goals in 13 games, including four in their recent 5-5 draw with Nottingham Forest.

Abraham’s success in claret and blue might convince Maurizio Sarri that Aston Villa is a good destination for Hudson-Odoi.

The England under-19 international could get game time in the Championship and return to Chelsea with more experience in the summer.
