"We have signed a fast and penetrative winger in Callum Hudson-Odoi. He has everything to be able to help us immediately," said sporting managing director Simon Rolfes about the 21-year-old who will wear the number 17 shirt at the Werkself. "Callum has played over 100 games for Chelsea and proven himself in the Premier League as well as in the Champions League. This will give our attacking game another special component. We’re very happy this transfer has gone through."
The versatile Hudson-Odoi can play on either wing as well as in attacking midfield. "The move to Germany is really exciting for me and I can play in the Champions League with Bayer 04 Leverkusen," said the 1.77 metre right footer in explaining his transfer. "That combination is really attractive and I'm keen to get to know the club, the fans and the Bundesliga. Kai Havertz only had good things to say about it to me in the Chelsea dressing room."
It has been a long time since feeling what it’s like to come away empty-handed. The last – and so far only – defeat of the season, in Elversberg, was two months ago. Since then, Bayer 04 have followed that up with seven wins and a draw. Now it has happened again away to TSG Hoffenheim. As the match progressed, the Werkself grew in confidence and “could even have scored the opening goal”, as Robert Andrich said after the game. In the end, it was the side from Sinsheim who sealed a 3–0 victory after “hectic closing stages” (kicker). The Werkself review.
