Bayern hope giving Hudson-Odoi same shirt number as Robben can seal £30m deal

BAYERN MUNICH want to give Callum Hudson-Odoi the shirt number of Arjen Robben.

The Chelsea youngster is the German giants’ top transfer target in a £30million deal this month.

And he will get the No10 next season when Robben leaves the club, showing the teenager how highly they rate him.

Robben is a club legend with seven Bundesliga titles and a Champions League triumph during his time at Allianz Arena.

As a Chelsea player Robben won two Premier League titles with Chelsea as well as an FA Cup before he was sold to Real Madrid in 2007.

The Dutchman's time in Spain was cut short as he was sold to Bayern after just two seasons - though Robben would go on to become a Bundesliga and Bayern legend.

But the ex-Chelsea star has announced he will leave Bayern at the end of the season after his glittering 10 years at the club.

Hudson-Odoi is seen as the face of a bright future for the club and has refused to sign a new deal at Stamford Bridge, with the prospect of following Jadon Sancho to Germany appealing after finding chances limited.

Chelsea have twice rejected bids from Bayern, with the Blues reportedly demanding a package of £36m for the winger.

Chelsea are weighing up whether to cash in on the youngster or risk losing him for compensation at the end of next season.
