Chelsea teenage sensation, Callum Hudson-Odoi has agreed a five-year contract with the club, reports in England has confirmed.
The Bayern Munich transfer target will earn £150,000-a-week in the duration of the contract
Hudson-Odoi’s current contract is due to expire at the end of the season and the England international has been heavily linked with a move to Bayern Munich in the last six months.
Bayern were willing to make the 18-year-old one of the club’s most expensive ever players in January and had three bids turned down by Chelsea, with the largest topping £35m.
The Bundesliga champions had another offer knocked back this summer before pulling the plug on their interest to focus on other transfer targets.
Hudson-Odoi grew disillusioned by a lack of playing time under Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge last season and looked set to leave the club this summer or on a free next year.
However, Frank Lampard’s appointment as Chelsea manager this summer has persuaded Hudson-Odoi to pledge his long-term future to the club, with an official announcement expected imminently.
Hudson-Odoi is currently recovering from an Achilles tendon injury sustained in April but is on course to make a full recovery by the end of September.
