Arsenal are tracking Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi ahead of a potential move this summer.

The Premier League leaders have already poached Jorginho from their London rivals and could return for the highly-rated 22-year-old.

Hudson-Odoi has featured in 11 Bundesliga games this season but has yet to record a goal in Germany's top flight.

The London-born attacker has tallied 15 goal contributions in 72 league appearances for the Blues but could find a new lease of life under Mikel Arteta.

The Guardian report that Chelsea will have to sell players to remain within financial fair play regulations and Hudson-Odoi is unlikely to remain as part of Graham Potter's project.

The summer window would be the perfect opportunity for the West Londoners to get a decent transfer fee for the speedster, with his contract set to expire in 2024.

Despite emerging through the Cobham youth system, Hudson-Odoi has never been a regular starter for his boyhood club and has struggled to take opportunities handed to him by several managers at Stamford Bridge.
