RB Leipzig have entered the race to sign Ghanaian youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea during the January transfer window.

Leipzig becomes the latest German club to track Chelsea star Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Bayern Munich are very keen on the 18-year-old with reports claiming the Bundesliga champions had already bid £13million.

However, Leipzig are looking to bring in a wide man but due to their limited transfer budget, are looking to recruit a forward with a smaller price-tag.

Chelsea will only listen to offers over £22.5million for Hudson-Odoi as Bayern were believed to have launched an unsuccessful bid of £20m for the youngster.

Bayern and Leipzig are also joined by Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund in the chase for Hudson-Odoi.
