CALLUM HUDSON-ODOI will reportedly consider quitting Chelsea in the summer following his season-long loan at Bayer Leverkusen.
The 22-year-old came through the ranks at Cobham and has 126 appearances and a Champions League to his name.
Highly rated Hudson-Odoi signed a five-year deal in 2019 after rejecting the opportunity to join Bayern Munich.
But injury struggles as well as falling out of favour with previous coaches saw him fall down the pecking order, resulting in a loan move to German side Leverkusen.
The move has been far from a success, with Hudson-Odoi playing just 15 times and scoring just once.
And according to The Athletic, Hudson-Odoi could look for a new permanent home in the summer once he returns from Chelsea to jump-start his career.

The report states that Hudson-Odoi could be available for a bargain fee as he’ll be heading into the final 12 months of his contract.
Chelsea will have to give him a contract extension or run the risk of losing him on a free transfer.
In January 2024, Hudson-Odoi can negotiate a pre-contract with foreign clubs.
If the player would like to stay in England, he’d have to wait until the end of June that year to strike a deal.
