Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has expressed his desire to keep hold of Chelsea loanee Callum Hudson-Odoi past the January transfer window.
The Blues have the option to recall Hudson-Odoi back to Stamford Bridge in the January transfer window, with Graham Potter and Todd Boehly yet to make that decision. The 22-year-old was allowed to leave Chelsea in the summer to join the Bundesliga outfit on a season-long loan, registering two goal contributions in 15 appearances for Leverkusen since.
Despite not possessing the most impressive numbers, Alonso has liked what he has seen from the 22-year-old since becoming Leverkusen boss at the start of October. Leverkusen have no option to buy the English winger, but they are keen to keep hold of him, with reports suggesting that the Blues are considering recalling him in January.
