What the papers say

Paris St Germain are joining the race for Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi, The Sun reports. The French giants are said to be preparing a summer bid for the 18-year-old rising star, who is reported to have been the subject of a £35million failed approach by Bayern Munich last month. The ambitious England Under-19 player is said to be unsettled at Stamford Bridge after missing out on first-team football. Hudson-Odoi, whose contract expires in 2020, has only had 13 minutes of Premier League action since the close of the transfer window.

Gareth Bale’s move to Manchester United might fail to materialise if Real Madrid decide he should be sold this summer, The Sun reports. The Champions League holders would prefer to sell the Welshman to Chelsea, who could part with Eden Hazard as part of a cash and player transfer, the paper says. Bale 29, would reportedly cost £131million in a cash only deal.
