Callum Hudson-Odoi: Chelsea youngster signs new five-year contract worth £150,000-a-week


Chelsea forward Callum Hudson-Odoi has ended all the speculation over his future by signing a new five-year contract reportedly worth £150,000-a-week at Stamford Bridge.

The 18-year-old, who is now committed to the club until at least 2024, seized his chance last season and made 24 first-team appearances.

Doubts had continually circulated over Hudson-Odoi's commitment to Chelsea as he failed to sign a new contract over the summer, with interest from Bayern Munich tempting him and with his current contract set to expire next summer.

After damaging his Achilles in April, Hudson-Odoi is still recovering from injury, but with Chelsea still under a transfer ban, he's given them a huge lift by signing a new contract with Frank Lampard's side.

Hudson-Odoi told Chelsea's official website: "It's an amazing feeling. It's been a long wait but it's done now and I'm really happy about that."

Hudson-Odoi's emergence also saw him become Chelsea's youngest England international when he was capped for the Euro 2020 win over the Czech Republic.

He added: "I've been a Chelsea player since the age of eight and this is the right club for me to be at.

"I want to lift as many trophies as possible, win as many games as possible and contribute to as many goals I can as well."
