English-born of Ghana descent, Callum Hudson Odoi is set to join German side, Bayer Leverkusen on a long-season loan deal from Chelsea.
Hudson-Odoi is expected to fly to Germany on Monday for a medical, according to Sky Sports.
The promising forward has failed to make Chelsea’s squad in their first four games played.
Odoi’s move was in danger of collapse 24 hours ago as Leverkusen wanted an option inserted in the deal, but Chelsea only wanted a straight loan.
It will be the first time the forward has been loaned out by the club.
Talks went into the night with Hudson-Odoi’s representative – his brother Bradley – able to convince Leverkusen to take the deal on the terms Chelsea wanted.
Hudson-Odoi and his representatives listened to all offers and spoke to several clubs before deciding Leverkusen presented the best option for his development.
As many as 20 clubs – both in England and in Europe – were thought to have been interested in signing Hudson-Odoi earlier this summer.
The forward came through the youth ranks at Chelsea and has two years left on his current contract, scoring 16 goals in 126 appearances since his first team debut in 2018.
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old is expected to switch nationality to play Ghana ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar later this year.
