Callum Hudson-Odoi, a winger for Chelsea, has agreed to a loan deal with Bayer Leverkusen that will last through the end of the current campaign.

The crippling Achilles injury he sustained and Thomas Tuchel, who had already been signed as Raheem Sterling's replacement, prevented the England international from making an impact during the previous campaign.

Now Hudson-Odoi is ready to clinch his first ever loan move from Chelsea and is set to fly out to Germany to put pen to paper on a season-long deal, according to Sky Sports.

Hudson-Odoi informed Chelsea he was keen to leave earlier this month in an effort to secure more consistent playing time, according to Sportsmail's report from last week. Chelsea and Leverkusen were in talks over the loan.

Hudson-Odoi, who joined Chelsea at the age of six as has risen up the ranks to make 126 appearances for the senior side.
