BAYERN MUNICH stars are reportedly hopeful of finally welcoming Callum Hudson-Odoi to the Bundesliga champions.
The Chelsea winger remains a fringe player at Stamford Bridge despite signing a £120,000-a-week contract last year.

That new deal came amid serious interest from Bayern when Hudson-Odoi was only just graduating from the Stamford Bridge academy.
But their interest has been rekindled in recent weeks, according to the Telegraph, and they may have gained hope after claims the youngster wants showdown talks with Frank Lampard about his future.
It is said that the Munich dressing room eagerly awaits the teenager and expect a bid in the coming weeks.
A loan proposal is considered most likely with this autumn’s transfer deadline set for October 5.
The Bavarian giants may not be the only club to try and tempt Hudson-Odoi, 19, away from West London.
Juventus and RB Leipzig are also reportedly tracking the star, although the latter may struggle to pay his wages.
Earlier in the month, it was suggested that Frank Lampard may sanction a loan exit after the arrival of Kai Havertz.
Hudson-Odoi has only featured in ten minutes of Chelsea’s opening Premier League fixtures.
Having been promised more game time when rejecting Bayern, the winger has been largely used off the bench by both Lampard and predecessor Maurizio Sarri.
Only 17 of his 49 appearances for the Blues in league and Europe have come as a starter.
Bayern may be able to afford greater prominence to Hudson-Odoi after losing Ivan Perisic and Philippe Coutinho in the summer.
Both wide men returned to their clubs after finishing their loan spells at the Champions League winners, who signed Leroy Sane from Manchester City for £54.8million.
