The Chelsea talent is reportedly wanted by Championship sides Queens Park Rangers and Bristol City.

Queens Park Rangers and Bristol City are interested in taking Chelsea’s Callum Hudson-Odoi on loan, according to The Daily Mail.

Hudson-Odoi has signed a new three-year deal with the Premier League champions, following alleged interest from European heavyweights Juventus and Bayern Munich.

But the report claims that despite being only 17 years of age*, the winger is considered so advanced he could be ready for regular action in the Football League.

QPR and Bristol City are listed as potential suitors and a move to either club could come with benefits for Hudson-Odoi, considering Ian Holloway’s are based only four miles down the road and that another Chelsea youngster, Tammy Abraham, flourished at Ashton Gate last season.

Hudson-Odoi impressed during England’s run to the European Under-17 Championship final earlier this summer, and scored in the Three Lions’ defeat to Spain on penalties.

According to The Daily Mail, QPR and Bristol City’s hopes of signing the player rest on Chelsea’s technical director Michael Emenalo, who is said to be ‘mindful of the need to ensure that young players don’t stagnate’.
