Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic is "fully convinced" by Callum Hudon-Odoi's quality and claims talks between themselves and Chelsea are ongoing.
German champions Bayern have been strongly linked with Hudson-Odoi over the last month, with the 18-year-old winger said to be frustrated about a lack of opportunities with Chelsea.
Bayern have not made any secret of their interest, with Maurizio Sarri calling their open pursuit "not professional".
Salihamidzic has already said he believes Hudson-Odoi's qualities would fit in at Bayern and has now told Sport Bild: "We want to sign the player. I am fully convinced of his abilities, we are in talks with Chelsea.
"Both [end-of-season signing Benjamin Pavard and Hudson-Odoi] are not finished players yet, but we have many leaders in our team, that's why it would not be a problem if no player came in the transfer window.
"We have to find a good mix between young talents and experienced leadership players."
"We've already had talks, There will be more," Salihamidzic said. "That he comes in winter is unrealistic."
