Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has been tipped to finally commit his long-term future to the club, but Stamford Bridge officials may still have to convince the 18-year-old prodigy that he will be afforded plenty of first team playing time before anything is actually signed.
Hudson-Odoi currently has just a year left on his existing contract and Chelsea had to stop a concerted effort from Bayern Munich to sign the youngster in January.
The player himself had resisted attempts from Chelsea to get him to sign a new long-term contract, but talk of the England youngster's potential willingness to perform an unexpected U-turn and finally agree a fresh five-year deal emerged earlier this month.
