Callum Hudson-Odoi finalizes loan move to Bayer Leverkusen

The loan transfer of Chelsea’s English-born Ghanaian winger Callum Hudson-Odoi to Bayer Leverkusen is now finalized.

The deal was announced on Tuesday, after a successful medical on Monday evening in Germany.

Hudson-Odoi has agreed to join the Bundesliga side after falling down the Chelsea pecking order, and he expects to see regular playing time.

Hudson-Odoi has struggled to find opportunities since returning from a crippling Achilles injury last season, and Thomas Tuchel has not made room for the 21-year-old after signing Raheem Sterling.


Hudson-Odoi informed Chelsea earlier this month that he wanted to leave in order to play more regularly.

The 21-year-old was being pursued by Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich in 2020, but Chelsea rejected the club’s bids and instead extended the player’s contract.

Hudson-Odoi, who joined Chelsea at the age of six, has risen through the ranks to make 126 senior appearances.

He had his best spell at Stamford Bridge under Frank Lampard, who was eager to give opportunities to the club’s young English stars.

He appeared 33 times in the 2019-20 season, scoring three goals, and 37 times the following season, scoring five.

However, due to injuries, he was limited to 28 appearances in the 2021-22 season.
