Chelsea have confirmed the loan transfer of winger Callum Hudson-Odoi to Bayer Leverkusen.

The club released a statement, thus: “Callum Hudson-Odoi will spend the rest of the 2022/23 season on loan in Germany with Bayer Leverkusen.”

Hudson-Odoi will have the opportunity to play regular football in the Bundesliga – a feat he hasn’t enjoyed since suffering an Achilles injury as a teenager.

The 21-year-old will be on loan for a full season before returning back to Chelsea.

The young forward has not played for Chelsea this campaign and made 15 Premier League appearances last season.
