Callum Hudson-Odoi deployed in new role as Bundesliga loan spell takes intriguing turn

Callum Hudson-Odoi has been handed a new role by Bayer Leverkusen as the German side attempt to succeed where Chelsea struggled with the loanee.

After being handed his professional debut as a teenager under Antonio Conte, Hudson-Odoi developed further under Maurizio Sarri and Frank Lampard. However, after struggling to hold down a starting spot in west London under Thomas Tuchel, he was allowed to move to Leverkusen on loan for the season.
