Hudson-Odoi Wants Chelsea Exit

Callum Hudson-Odoi is desperate to leave Chelsea, who are reportedly refusing to let him leave despite the fact that he handed in a transfer request during the January transfer window.

The 18-year-old forward is reportedly frustrated at the lack of Premier League opportunities he has been given this season by manager Maurizio Sarri, who is yet to hand Hudson-Odoi his first top-flight start.

The Blues are currently facing a one-year transfer ban, after they were found guilty of breaching rules on overseas players under the age of 18.

While the club has appealed the decision, their ban currently stands, and they are reportedly planning on holding on to their entire squad, until they can sign new players.

Interest in Hudson-Odoi has been heating up, with Manchester United now said to have joined Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund in the race to complete a deal.

However, the Blues are apparently so adamant about keeping Hudson-Odoi that they are willing to risk letting him run down his contract and losing him for free in 2020.
