It has been a long time coming, but Chelsea fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief: Callum Hudson-Odoi has signed a new long-term contract with the club.

For most of the year, Blues fans have been waiting for the prodigy to commit his future to the Stamford Bridge outfit, but on more than one occasion, it looked as though it might not happen at all.

During the January transfer window, Bayern Munich made no secret of their attempt to purchase the 18-year-old and take him to the Bundesliga. CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge actually confirmed that he was the "only" player the club wanted to sign in the January transfer window earlier this year.

When the winger handed in a transfer request towards the end of the month, it appeared that he would be heading towards the exit door but Chelsea stood firm, keeping the teenager on their books.

The Bavarian giants returned in the summer, with a £22.5m bid reportedly rejected by the Blues, but, once again, Chelsea held firm. Now, Hudson-Odoi has put pen to paper on a five-year deal.
