TRANSFER NEWS LIVE: Starsport brings you the latest coming out of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd and the rest of the Premier League
Arsenal have tabled a contract offer to Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic
Chelsea are interested in Tottenham playmaker Christian Eriksen
Callum Hudson-Odoi has been advised to join Liverpool
Manchester United have contacted PSV Eindhoven over a deal for Steven Bergwijn
Hudson-Odoi thinks 'he's gone'
Callum Hudson-Odoi is already thinking about his move to Bayern Munich, according to BBC pundit Danny Murphy.
The Chelsea starlet has been heavily linked with a £40m move to the Bundesliga champions this term.
However, the Blues continue to spurn Bayern's advances, so far rejecting a number of big-money offers for the 18-year-old.
Hudson-Odoi netted in Chelsea's 3-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday this evening before refusing to answer questions over his immediate future.
But after the game, Murphy suggested the youngster was set to leave the club before the end of the transfer window on Thursday evening.
"I think he's gone, in his head," he said on BT Sport.
"Now, what we don't know is, no matter what bid they make, Chelsea have the right to say no because he's under contract with them.
"But I think it sounds like and from everything we're hearing, that in his head, he's already wearing red."
Speaking on the pitch at full-time, Hudson-Odoi was asked about his future, responding: "I don't know, I can't say.
"I'll keep working hard and you never know what will happen.
"I thought we did very well. It was a great team performance.
"We did very well in training and worked really hard.
"That's one of my highlights. It was nice to top it off with a goal."

Inter boss slams Arsenal target Perisic
Inter Milan boss Luciano Spalletti has criticised Ivan Perisic after the Croatian submitted a transfer request.
The Arsenal transfer target was left on the bench for the 1-0 defeat to Torino.
Spalletti said: "Perisic, it's simple. As I said yesterday, players can say what they want.
"Of course they're at the club, they're paid by us, so you need to have a buyer. He cannot go away for free.
"If he does not want to play as Marotta said, it is clear that he will stay out (of the team). There are no problems, when one cannot make a contribution, it helps to get rid of them."

Ake back to Chelsea?
Chelsea have been given a major boost in their pursuit over Nathan Ake after Bournemouth's latest transfer deal, according to reports.
The Blues are in the market for a centre-back with the likelihood that Gary Cahill will be heading out soon.
David Luiz - expected to sign a new one-year deal this month - has taken his spot in the starting XI.
And Chelsea are also desperate to boost their homegrown quota and would prefer a left-footed defender.
The Stamford Bridge outfit sold Ake to Bournemouth in 2017 for a then club-record fee of £20m.
And since his move to the south coast, the Dutchman has been a sensation - winning the club's player of the year award at the end of his debut campaign.
A number of teams have started to take an interest in the 23-year-old, including Manchester United and Tottenham.
But Chelsea have first refusal and are reportedly ready to bid £40m.

Arsenal target Ivan Perisic has handed in a transfer request to Inter Milan.
The Serie A club's director Guiseppe Marotta said: "We will listen to the request of Perisic, he has put in a transfer request; we must try to satisfy him but also respect the value of him."
Arsenal contract offer
Arsenal have tabled a contract offer to Ivan Perisic, according to FCInterNews.
Perisic has reportedly told Inter he wants to leave for England this month to fulfil his 'dream' of playing in the Premier League.
And according to reports in Italy, the 29-year-old may be in line to land a big pay day should he join Arsenal on loan in the coming days.
The Gunners have reportedly offered to pay the player €3m (£2.5m) between now and June.

Chelsea to battle Man Utd for Eriksen
Chelsea are set to battle Manchester United for Christian Eriksen in the summer.
According to the Sunday Express, the Blues could have the edge over their Premier League rivals.
Tottenham star Eriksen has 18 months left on his contract and has been on the radar of European giants Real Madrid.
But the Spanish side are reportedly ready to end their interest in the Dane due to his sky-high price tag.
The Sunday Express claim United and Chelsea are now gearing up to nab Eriksen in the summer, having been heartened by the news Madrid are out of the running.
Transfer news: Man Utd want PSV's Steven Bergwijn
Man Utd Bergwijn request
Manchester United have contacted PSV Eindhoven over the potential sale of Steven Bergwijn, according to the Sunday Express.
The Red Devils have registered their interest in Bergwijn, 21, after it was reported Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are weighing up a move for him.
Liverpool and Inter Milan are also thought to have been keeping tabs on the winger in recent weeks.
But United have ramped up their interest, sending over a scout to watch the ex-Ajax man in action last Sunday ay FC Emmen.

Hudson-Odoi to Liverpool?
Chelsea ace Callum Hudson-Odoi has been told to abandon his desired move to Bayern Munich in favour of joining Liverpool.
ESPN pundit Paul Mariner said: "Well I wish I was this kid.
"As you say he's in such demand, look at the clubs that are interested in him.
"All Chelsea fans are saying 'please sign, please re-sign for us'.
"But he's at the stage in his career where he wants to play.
"Will he get playing time at [Borussia] Dortmund? Maybe, maybe not.
"Bayern he probably would because they're going to get a little bit aged.
"For playing time, I'm going to say yes, get yourself moving [to Liverpool].
"Chelsea fans won't be too happy about it."
