Ghanaian international Callum Hudson-Odoi has disclosed having conversation with Chelsea owner Todd Boehly before his loan move to Bayer Leverkusen.
The English-born Ghanaian winger joined the German Bundesliga club on a season-long loan in search of playing time.
According to Odoi, he had a conversation with Todd Boehly before sanctioning his loan move to Leverkusen.
"It's definitely different," Hudson-Odoi said. "When a club is trying to get a player [on loan], they always want that option to buy at the end of the season. Todd was saying: 'Listen, we want you back here.'
"You're still on the radar of being wanted by the club. The way he's trying to set it up, there are a lot of young players he's trying to buy for the next few years. It shows he wants to integrate the players into the team and help them develop."
Since joining Leverkusen, the 21-year-old has provided one assist in the five games he has featured for the club.
