Chelsea set to announce Callum Hudson-Odoi’s new £100k-a-week deal after winger’s return from injury
CALLUM HUDSON-ODOI will seal his £100,000-a-week, five-year deal at Chelsea after returning from injury.
The England forward, 18, played 61 minutes in Friday’s reserve clash at Brighton after five months out with an Achilles injury.
And the Blues are now ready to announce Hudson-Odoi’s new terms, which will put an end to Bayern Munich’s interest in the teenager.
The German champions made him their No 1 target last year and had bids rejected in January before injury struck.
Bayern did sign Jamal Musiala and Bright Arrey-Mbi, both 16, from Chelsea this summer but will miss out this time.
Hudson-Odoi was frustrated under former boss Maurizio Sarri by a lack of Premier League starts.
But Frank Lampard’s arrival has boosted the club’s chances of keeping him as the new boss is determined to promote youth.
Lamps has given Hudson-Odoi and other youngsters a clear pathway to the first team, compared to Sarri.
It means he will join Mason Mount and Ruben Loftus-Cheek as homegrown talent committing to the Blues.
