Arsenal reportedly seem ready to try to win the race to sign wantaway Chelsea attacker Callum Hudson-Odoi.

The 21-year-old has struggled to cement his place as a first-team regular under Thomas Tuchel and has supposedly informed the management of his desire to leave the club.

The England international has yet to make his first top-flight appearance of the new season.

He is understood to be on the radar of Borussia Dortmund, Southampton and Newcastle United.

A recent report suggested that BVB were at the head of the queue to sign Hudson-Odoi, who would become the latest young English lad to make the switch to the Westfalenstadion.

However, according to the Chelsea Spot podcast, the Gunners have got themselves in pole position in the race for Hudson-Odoi’s signature as he looks for regular game time.

The North Londoners could be in the market for a new attacker if Nicolas Pepe leaves the Emirates.

Hudson-Odoi has scored 16 goals and registered 22 assists in 126 appearances for Chelsea.
