English giants Chelsea are still fretting over the future of Ghanaian youngster Calum Hudson-Odoi, who is yet to sign a new deal with the club.

The 18-year-old has struggled to break into the Chelsea team, despite having an excellent preseason with the Blues.

Chelsea is reportedly interested in bringing American starlet Christian Pulisic to London, meaning Hudson-Odoi's chances are further reduced.

According to The Sun, Chelsea wants him to agree to terms on a new deal before allowing him to leave on loan in January.

His current contract has 18 months left to run on it, but there has been no breakthrough in talks between the two parties at this point in time.

Meanwhile, after a meteoric rise to prominence for club and country, USA international Pulisic is a January transfer target for the Blues.

The Dortmund winger's potential arrival would surely mean even less game time for the England Under-19 international, who wanted to leave on loan in the summer.
