Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has been told he has a future at the club despite being loaned out to German side Bayer Leverkusen.
Hudson-Odoi joined Bayer Leverkusen during the summer transfer window after falling down the pecking order at Chelsea. The young winger has struggled to cement a regular place at Chelsea, with his development stalling due to the usual injuries.
A move away from the club may be what he needs to start his career anew, but there is a chance he could still be a regular at Chelsea in the future.
“Listen, we want you back here,” Hudson-Odoi said, quoting what Chelsea owner Todd Boehly told him, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Boehly insisted that no permanent clause be inserted into the loan deal, so that Hudson-Odoi could return to Chelsea after progressing, gaining more experience and playing regularly.
If Hudson-Odoi can prove himself at Leverkusen, still at a high level and playing European football, then there is still a good chance he will make it at Stamford Bridge.
Timo Werner recently left the club, along with Romelu Lukaku, so there is still room in Chelsea’s attack, especially with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as a short-term solution.
