Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are set to go head-to-head in an attempt to land Chelsea’s teen sensation Callum Hudson-Odoi this summer.
Bayern club president Uli Hoeness recently announced that the Bundesliga side will undergo the ‘biggest investment programme’ in their history, with the England youngster expected to be a key target.

Bayern remain desperate to sign the 18-year-old as they seek a long-term replacement for wingers Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben, who will both call time on their careers at the club at the end of this season.
