Liverpool have reportedly opened talks with Chelsea’s teen sensation Callum Hudson-Odoi, according to a report in The Mirror.

The 18-year-old is yet to make a first Premier League start for the Blues, but made his first two England appearances last week.

He came off the bench against the Czech Republic before starting the game against Montenegro.

German club Bayern Munich are keen to land the Chelsea man too, having a £35 million bid rejected in January, as per The Mirror.

Kicker reports, however, that Liverpool maintains an interest.

It is The Mirror that have now moved to claim talks between the Reds and Hudson-Odoi’s agent and that will surely excite supporters.

Despite his tender years, Hudson-Odoi will be desperate for regular football, especially given his England exploits.

Liverpool often play with two high-pressing wide forwards and that style would suit Hudson-Odoi down to the ground.

If the interest in the sensation then it seems likely that more than just Bayern and Liverpool will be interested.

Whichever fortunate party does land the youngster will get themselves a certain star of the future.

TBR Verdict

The Hudson-Odoi scenario looks set to roll on and on this summer.

Chelsea aren’t covering themselves in glory with this one and their fans must be starting to resent Maurizio Sarri.

When the youngster has been called upon this season he has looked sensational.

He tore Nottingham Forest to pieces in the FA Cup, whilst his cameo appearances in the Premier League have highlighted real class.

England boss Gareth Southgate has now turned up the heat on Sarri after handing him a start for the Three Lions.

If he doesn’t start playing frequently for the Blues, then why shouldn’t he look towards pastures now.

Liverpool could really kick their Premier League rivals where it hurts in landing one of their stars of the future.

Jurgen Klopp could pull off a real coup if he lands someone of Hudson-Odoi’s undoubted class.

The club’s supporters will hope a deal can be struck.
