Ghana target Callum Hudson-Odoi says it was the right time to move from England to join Bayer Leverkusen ahead of the 2022 World Cup.
The 21-year-old joined the Bundesliga side on a season long loan in the recent summer in order to get game-time under his belt after falling out of favour under Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge.
The move was sanctioned by owner Todd Boehly in the summer with both parties agreeing that first team football was necessary in order to help Hudson-Odoi reach his full-potential.
“Coming out here my aim was to get as many games as possible and build on the fitness that I haven’t really had in the last couple of seasons for Chelsea,” he said as quoted by astamfordbridgetoofar.com.
“Game wise I have been playing a lot here and I’m really enjoying it and every moment here, trying to help the team as much as possible, scoring goals and assisting goals, just doing whatever even it’s not scoring or assisting, just being influential in the team.”
Hudson-Odoi has made five appearances for Bayer Leverkusen across all competitions and provided one assist.
