Hudson-Odoi has struggled for game time under Thomas Tuchel, making just 10 starts in all competitions this season.

Metro UK reports the youngster is desperate for regular first-team football, but this is unlikely to come by at Stamford Bridge given Tuchel has a wide range of options to select from.

Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech, and Timo Werner are all ahead of Hudson-Odoi in the pecking order.

The winger's situation is now said to have put Borussia Dortmund on red alert, with the German giants searching for a replacement for Jadon Sancho.

Sancho is reported to be on the verge of joining Man United this summer and the Old Trafford dwellers are confident of signing him after his asking price was lowered to around £75million.

Chelsea have shown interest in the ex-Man City ace, but the winger has set his sights on joining Old Trafford and Eurosport claim the Blues could help United land the 20-year-old.

However, should Sancho move to United, doors will be open for Hudson-Odoi to move either way to replace his fellow countryman.

It is likely Chelsea would be open to loaning out Hudson-Odoi to Germany but a permanent transfer has also been mooted.

The 20-year-old was on the verge of joining Bayern Munich in 2019 but resolved to commit his future to the Blues following the arrival of then-manager Frank Lampard.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Eden Hazard is reportedly exploring the option of making a sensational return to Stamford Bridge after an underwhelming campaign with Real Madrid.

Hazard has endured a disappointing spell with Madrid since his dream move to the club in the summer of 2019.

Multiple injuries have taken a toll on his career at Madrid, and have been limited him to just 10 starts in La Liga this season.
