Bochum not interested in selling Bella-Kotchap amid Udinese links

Armel Bella-Kotchap has reportedly attracted interest from Udinese, but Bochum have no plans of letting him go.
Udinese are said to be interested in acquiring VfL Bochum defender Armel Bella-Kotchap this month.

The Bundesliga outfit, however, have no plans of selling the 20-year-old centre-back at the moment.

"He is an important player for VfL Bochum, and we are convinced of his potential," said Bochum director of sport Sebastian Szyndzielorz.

"Letting him go now plays no role in our current considerations."

Bella-Kotchap has featured 13 times for Bochum this season.
