Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has ended speculation regarding his future by signing a new five-year contract at Stamford Bridge.

Hudson-Odoi will reportedly earn £100,000-a-week to end Bayern Munich's attempts to prise the England youngster away from West London.

The BBC report that the 18-year-old has been convinced by Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard that he will form a major part of his first-team plans when he returns from his current Achilles injury.

Hudson-Odoi is expected to be out until at least the end of September, but the news certainly comes as a boost for Chelsea heading into the new Premier League season.

The England international's previous contract was due to expire at the end of the upcoming campaign.

Bayern Munich were contemplating a £45million bid to sign the winger, having seen a fourth offer of around £22.5m rejected earlier this summer.

Hudson-Odoi made just 24 appearances under former head coach Maurizio Sarri last season, and had to wait until April for his first Premier League start.
