BAYERN MUNICH fear Chelsea will increase their valuation of Callum Hudson-Odoi after his England call-up.
The teenager was originally picked for the Three Lions Under-21 side but got the call from Gareth Southgate to step up to join the senior squad for the Euro 2020 qualifier against Czech Republic and Montenegro.
But his international promotion has set the alarm bells ringing in Bavaria as the Bundesliga champions worry Chelsea’s price for Hudson-Odoi could go north, say .
The 18-year-old told Chelsea in January he didn’t see his future at Stamford Bridge and asked the club to let him move to Germany as he had no intention of penning a new deal.
Bayern had several bids rejected by Chelsea after matching the club’s original valuation.
The Blues are desperate to convince Hudson-Odoi to change his mind and sign a new long-term deal.
Chelsea fans have been left frustrated by the winger's lack of first-team action this season.

The attacker will enter the final year of his contract next season and Chelsea may have to cash-in or run the risk of losing him on the cheap next year.
And with the club's two-window transfer ban and the prospect of Real Madrid sniffing around Eden Hazard, Chelsea have a huge decision to make about the future of one of the hottest young talents in Europe.
