Callum Hudson-Odoi, a target for Ghana, admitted that leaving England to play for Bayer Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga was the best decision he had made.
At Stamford Bridge, Hudson-Odoi lost favor under Thomas Tuchel as a result of injuries that kept him out for several weeks.
The 21-year-old signed a season-long loan agreement with the Bundesliga team in an effort to increase his playing time as he seeks to reach peak fitness.
The winger said in an interview that after taking part in a few games for the team, he has been able to live up to his expectations.
“Coming out here my aim was to get as many games as possible and build on the fitness that I haven’t really had in the last couple of seasons for Chelsea,” he said as quoted by astamfordbridgetoofar.com.
“Game-wise I have been playing a lot here and I’m really enjoying it and every moment here, trying to help the team as much as possible, scoring goals and assisting goals, just doing whatever even if not scoring or assisting, just being influential in the team.”
Hudson-Odoi has made five appearances for Bayer Leverkusen across all competitions and provided one assist.
