Leicester City lead the Championship and appear set to return to the Premier League at the first attempt. Enzo Maresca has settled in nicely at the King Power Stadium, and his team is flying high after being relegated the previous season.
The Foxes could well sign no new players this month and still likely finish inside the top two, but it seems they are determined to keep on improving this month.
Odogu, 17, is a young German defender who currently plays for Wolfsburg’s U19. He has three goal contributions from centre back already this season and his performances have attracted interest.
Chelsea join Leicester City and more unnamed English clubs in holding interest in Odogu as the prospect appears to be on the move this winter.
Strong competition
The Foxes are currently in a strong position to bargain, but fighting out against Chelsea in the transfer market will never be easy, regardless of their present form.
The 17-year-old would likely get more game time at Leicester City in the long run, which might offer them an advantage. However, Chelsea’s financial resources may make it impossible to compete.
Odogu is yet to feature for Wolfsburg’s senior side and that means he will likely take sometime before he is ready for senior football in England, but the youngster won the U17 World Cup just last month and he is clearly on an upward career trajectory.
This one is certainly one to keep an eye on as the January window begins to heat up.
Up next for Maresca’s side is a trip to Millwall in the FA Cup third round this Saturday.
