Chelsea are putting the finishing touches to Callum Hudson-Odoi’s new contract ahead of an announcement that will provide another significant boost to head coach Frank Lampard.

Hudson-Odoi made his return from injury for Chelsea’s Under-23s on Friday night, following four months out with a ruptured Achilles, and he has agreed a new five-year deal worth over £100,000-a-week.

Having already tied Mason Mount and Ruben Loftus-Cheek to new deals, Chelsea want to secure the futures of all their best young talent and the Blues are now completing the formalities of Hudson-Odoi’s contract.

Hudson-Odoi is rated as one of the brightest prospects at the club and is expected to take Eden Hazard’s old position on the left of a front three.

The 18-year-old had asked to leave Chelsea in January as he chased a move to Bayern Munich, but he has since been reassured of his first-team chances at the club.

Hudson-Odoi played 60 minutes for the Under-23s against Brighton and will now work his way towards returning to the first team squad.

His current contract is due to expire next summer, but Chelsea are confident the new deal will be confirmed soon.
