#3. Callum Hudson Odoi

The Chelsea sensation is on the radar of Bayern Munich

English Premier League giants Chelsea FC are well known all over Europe when it comes to the production of fantastic young football talents, with the London outfit having produced some of finest young footballers on the continent during the past few years.

Another exciting prospect rising from the Stamford Bridge at the moment is Callum Hudson-Odoi, a highly talented winger with immense pace and incredible dribbling skills who has earned himself a lot of interest from European powerhouses with his explosive performances.

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are currently leading the race to sign the amazing winger and talks are reportedly underway, with their Sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic recently reiterating the club's desire to lure the England Under-19 International to the Allianz Arena.

He was quoted saying:

'We are in talks with Chelsea,'

'We want to sign the player. I am fully convinced of his abilities.'

#2. Mathijs De Ligt

De Ligt has been the big talk of the January Transfer window

When it comes to rating the finest young defenders in Europe at the moment, there is no doubt Ajax wonderkid, Mathijs De Ligt belongs in a class of his own, courtesy of his amazing displays at the heart of Ajax's defence since a very long time.

After winning the Golden Boy award recently for his incredible performances at the Amsterdam Arena it comes as no surprise to see many European elite clubs going head-to-head in their bids to overtake one another and earn the signature of the highly talented Dutch International.

According to the rumours, many clubs are keeping tabs on the centre-back's situation at the moment but the likes of Barcelona, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint Germain, and Manchester City are reportedly leading the race to lure De Ligt from the Eredivisie at some point this year.

#1. Frenkie De Jong

Frankie De Jong could also be on the move

One of the most talented young midfielders in Europe at the moment, another exciting prospect coming out from Ajax, Frankie De Jong is also on the wishlist of many big clubs across the continent, thanks to his amazing performances in the Eredivisie during the past few months.

The Dutch International has been tipped to leave for a big club this winter. However, it seems like the transfer won't happen this window and only in the next. But one thing is for sure, it appears as though he could end up joining either of Barcelona or Paris Saint Germain with both clubs being considered the heavy favourites to get his signature at the moment.

De Jong is a highly talented midfielder who would suit Barcelona's style of play which prioritizes possession and he could get the opportunity to become the long-term replacement of Sergio Busquets while the situation of Adrien Rabiot at Paris Saint Germain could also open up a space for him at the Parc Des Princes.
