Team competing for Premier League return to battle Chelsea for German prodigy

Chelsea’s priority for this window is to sell players, but that won’t stop them continuing their quest to hoover up the best young talents around.

One name who is suddenly being mentioned online as a potential target is David Odogu. The Wolfsburg talent has yet to make a first team appearance, but is already a German youth international, and is attracting serious attention from clubs in the UK.

Football.London claim that Chelsea have joined a race being led by Leicester City, who are already preparing for their Premier League return next season. 17 year old Odogu is likely to make his first team debut before the end of this campaign for Wolfsburg, unless he gets snapped up by another team.

If Chelsea really like him, their smartest move might be to buy him and loan him back so he can keep developing. There’s quite the queue at centre back in the first team now.
