Callum Hudson-Odoi has revealed he felt he needed to leave Chelsea in the summer to get his career back on track.
The 21-year-old winger was limited to just 11 Premier League starts last season as he fell out of favour and then suffered an Achilles tendon injury that derailed the second half of his campaign.
This led to him seeking a move away in the recent transfer window, and he joined Bayer Leverkusen on loan in August. Reflecting on the decision to move to Germany, Hudson-Odoi claims he was left with no other option, but he still wants to go back to Chelsea when his loan spell ends to prove he can play a significant role for the Blues.
