Chelsea's forgotten man Callum Hudson-Odoi set for move to Bayer Leverkusen

Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi is in advanced talks to join Bayer Leverkusen on loan.

Hudson-Odoi informed Chelsea he was keen to leave earlier this month in a bid to secure more regular football.

That has been hard to come by since he recovered from a serious Achilles injury with Hudson-Odoi failing to be given consistent opportunities in one or the same position.

At one point in 2020, the 21-year-old was being chased by Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich but Chelsea rejected the club's bids and instead extended the contract of the player.

However now, it seems like Hudson-Odoi could be set to light up the pitches in Germany after all.

Another Blues player that could be joining Hudson-Odoi in Germany is defender Trevoh Chalobah with Red Bull Leipzig rivalling Inter Milan and Roma for his signature.

Last season Chalobah made 20 appearances in the Premier League as he tried to stake a claim to a starting role for the Blues, but this season he is yet to play for the club.

Chelsea are also continuing to negotiate with Barcelona over a fee for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Thomas Tuchel is in the market for a new striker after allowing Romelu Lukaku to re-join Inter Milan this summer, but so far no fee has been agreed on which will see Aubameyang become his replacement.

Aubameyang is seen as the favourite to end up at Stamford Bridge and he is already familiar with the Premier League having starred at London-rivals Arsenal during a four-year stint.

The Gabon striker only arrived at Barcelona in January, but has now fallen out of Xavi's favour as he has only played eight minutes this season.

On Sunday the 33-year-old was an unused substitute in Barcelona's win over Real Sociedad.
