Speaking to German newspaper Bild, Salihamidzic confirmed that talks to sign Hudson-Odoi are continuing with a view to getting a deal done during this month’s transfer window.

He said: “We want to sign the player. I am fully convinced of his abilities. We are in talks with Chelsea.

“But we have many leaders in our team. That’s why it would not be a problem if no player arrived in January.

“We have to find a good mix between young talents and experienced leaders who carry the team.”

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri recently accused Bayern of being unprofessional and disrespectful by publicly pursuing Hudson-Odoi.

The player’s contract at Stamford Bridge is due to expire next year and Chelsea want him to commit his future to the club by signing a new deal.

Speaking at a press conference last week. Blues head coach Sarri said: “I think that it’s not professional, because they are talking about a player under contract with Chelsea. They didn’t respect our club.”
