Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic says the German giants are still in talks to sign promising winger Callum Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea this January.
The 18-year-old winger’s frustration with his lack of opportunities at Stamford Bridge this season has alerted Bayern to his possible availability in this month’s transfer window.
Now Salihamidzic, who confirmed Bayern’s interest last week, reiterated his admiration for Hudson-Odoi.
“We want to sign the player. I am fully convinced of his abilities, we are in talks with Chelsea, ” Salihamidzic told Bild.
“Both [end-of-season signing Benjamin Pavard and Hudson-Odoi] are not finished players yet, but we have many leaders in our team, that’s why it would not be a problem if no player came in the transfer window.
“We have to find a good mix between young talents and experienced leadership players.”
Hudson-Odoi has made a total of seven appearances thus far this season, scoring a goal.
