Chelsea starlet Callum Hudson-Odoi has reportedly handed in a transfer request with his future with the Blues still up on the air. The 18-year-old English winger has at the center of a transfer tug-of-war between the London club and Bundesliga outfit Bayern Munich and the latest development suggest that he is keen on a move away.
Having previously made his intentions clear to seal a move elsewhere, Hudson-Odoi was assured of more play time by Maurizio Sarri. In addition, an 80,000 pounds-a-week contract has also been lined up by the Italian manager's side to put the mind of the academy graduate at ease.
Contrary to Sarri's assertion of finally being ready to give Hudson-Odoi multiple first-team opportunities, the ex-Napoli manager has still stuck with Willian and Pedro as his preferred choices to occupy the positions on the flanks.
With a few days left for the winter transfer window to shut close, Sky Sports' Kaveh Solhekol has reported that the England U-17 World Cup winner maintains that his future lies outside the walls of the Stamford Bridge. He has, as a result, handed in a transfer request while he hopes that Bayern Munich meets Chelsea's valuation.

The Bavarians have already had four different bids rejected for the winger and, albeit refusing to back down, Maurizio Sarri's side retains no interest in parting ways with its prodigy. The last offer turned down by the Blues reportedly amounted to 35 million pounds.
With Hudson-Odoi now making his desire to leave even more resounding, the Allianz Arena outfit is expected to submit an improved offer in the coming days.
