Chelsea Agree Deal With Bayer Leverkusen For Winger

Bayer Leverkusen and Chelsea have agreed a season-long loan deal for winger Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Hudson-Odoi is scheduled to travel to Germany for a medical today. The forward will be out on loan for the first time ever from the team.

A day ago, the agreement was on the verge of failing as Chelsea just wanted a straight loan but Leverkusen insisted on including an option.

However, Leverkusen were persuaded to accept the deal on the terms Chelsea wanted by Odoi’s agent after late-night negotiations.

After hearing all of the offers and speaking with several clubs, Hudson-Odoi and his representatives came to the conclusion that Leverkusen offered the best opportunity for his growth.

This summer, up to 20 clubs, including those in England and Europe, were rumored to be interested in signing Hudson-Odoi.

The forward, who came up through Chelsea’s junior system, has two years left on his current deal. He has made 126 appearances while scoring 16 goals since making his first team debut in 2018.

Last summer, he was on the verge of accepting a loan offer from Borussia Dortmund, but Chelsea blocked the deal on Deadline Day.
