Callum Hudson-Odoi hands in transfer request
It looks like it's not just Real Madrid aces that want to leave for greener pastures. According to BBC, Callum Hudson-Odoi has handed in a transfer request to force a move out of Chelsea in the hopes of securing more playing time.
The 18-year-old has been used sparingly by Maurizio Sarri and has been linked with a move away from the club. He is the subject of a £35 million bid from Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and is now more than likely to leave the club shortly.
Hudson-Odoi has been at Chelsea since the age of 8. However, the prodigious youngster is one of the most promising youngsters in the game right now and values game time above a lucrative contract and has not reportedly accepted a £80,000 a week contract offer tabled by Chelsea.
Bayern's interest in Hudson-Odoi, who scored a peach against Sheffield Wednesday in their recent FA Cup tie, is quite solid with their Sporting Director Hasan Salihamidzic admitting that the club 'really wants to sign him'.
