England-born forward of Ghanaian descent, Callum Hudson-Odoi has completed his move to Bayer Leverkusen.
The talented winger arrived in German on Monday ahead of a loan transfer from Chelsea to the German Bundesliga club.
Today after passing the mandatory medical examination, Callum Hudson-Odoi has put pen to paper to sign a one-year loan deal with Bayer Leverkusen.
“Bayer 04 Leverkusen have reacted to the long-term injuries to offensive players Karim Bellarabi and Amine Adli by signing Callum Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea. The England international has signed on a 12-month loan deal from the Premier League,” a statement from the German club said on Tuesday morning.
When the deal expires in June 2023, the forward will return to Chelsea in hopes of finally cementing a place in the first eleven.
The 21-year-old has been at Chelsea since a very young age and has already won many trophies with the team including the Uefa Europa League and the Super Cup.
He has joined Bayer Leverkusen in search of regular playing time to increase his chances of making it to the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Although his dream is to be part of the England squad, he is also reportedly considering making the switch to represent Ghana, the country of his parents.
Now that he has sorted out his issues at the club level, he is expected to come clear on whether he will continue to represent England or Ghana.
