Chelsea Close to Agreeing New Five-Year Deal for Bayern Target Callum Hudson-Odoi

Chelsea are on the verge of agreeing on a new five-year deal with Callum Hudson-Odoi, six months after he handed in a transfer request to try to push through a move to Bayern Munich.

Hudson-Odoi had garnered attention from across Europe after showing flashes of his enormous potential for the Blues, while a lack of first-team game-time seemed to push him closer to the exit door.

Bayern were the most forward with their interest, submitting bids worth up to £35m in an attempt to seal the deal, while Hudson-Odoi put in a transfer request.

However, according to the Telegraph, the 18-year-old, who has just 12 months left on his current contract, is now close to signing a fresh five-year deal with the Blues, after receiving a sustained run in the side following that January transfer window.
