Highly-rated Chelsea star Callum Hudon-Odoi has finally agreed on a new deal at Chelsea after months of talks. Hudson-Odoi spent the summer rehabilitating after rupturing his Achilles in April but recently returned to the pitch when he played for Chelsea’s U23 side against Brighton.
The England winger’s previous deal was scheduled to expire at the end of the season and he was widely linked with a move to Germany with Bayern Munich in January when they launched a 30 million pounds offer which was rejected and again over the summer.
The 18-year-old had finally got a run of games late in the season after spending most of the first half of the season on the bench but his season ended prematurely after rupturing his Achilles.
“It’s an amazing feeling,” Hudson-Odoi said after signing his new deal alongside Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia.
“It’s been a long wait but it’s done now and I’m really happy about that. I’ve been a Chelsea player since I was eight and this is the right club for me to be at.
“I want to lift as many trophies as possible, win as many games as possible and contribute to as many goals as I can as well. As a team, we just want to work hard to achieve the best results we can. I’m delighted everything has been agreed and now I’m just looking forward to properly getting back.”.
Callum Hudon-Odoi is likely to make his first appearance of the season for Chelsea against Grimsby Town in the League Cup.
