Callum Hudson-Odoi finally has his move to Germany. The 21-year-old has completed a transfer to Bayer Leverkusen on a season-long loan, though Chelsea have the option to recall the winger in January should they wish to.
The move comes as Thomas Tuchel looks to bolster his frontline with new signings this summer as the pursuit of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Anthony Gordon and Wilfried Zaha goes on late in the window. Hudson-Odoi's departure could open up room for those deals to accelerate.
The talented forward has been at Chelsea since the age of eight, breaking into the first team under Maurizio Sarri after making his debut under Antonio Conte in 2018. He did become an early part of Tuchel's own Chelsea set-up but has struggled for first team minutes since falling out of favour in 2021, playing less than 1,000 minutes in the league last season.
