If you were Callum Hudson-Odoi you’d probably do the same.
Chelsea’s 21-year-old winger has clearly had enough of waiting for his chance and is off on loan to Bayer Leverkusen. He must wish he could turn the clock back. Three years ago, the club offered him a new, five-year deal with a substantial increase on his wages to £120,000 a week.
It had come nine months after he’d handed in a transfer request in a bid to force a move to Bayern Munich, no less. The German champions had made multiple approaches to sign him as a long-term successor to Kingsley Coman. Hudson-Odoi wanted to go.
