Bayer Leverkusen coach Seoane deploys Chelsea attacker Hudson-Odoi in new role

Chelsea attacker Callum Hudson-Odoi is being used in a No10 role while on-loan with Bayer Leverkusen.

Hudson-Odoi is on a season-long deal with Bayer.

For the draw with Werder Bremen, he was deployed as a No10 by coach Gerardo Seoane behind centre-forward Patrik Schick with Moussa Diaby and Jeremie Frimpong either side.

“I'm definitely excited. I think it's a new experience for me – I haven't been anywhere else but Chelsea," Hudson-Odoi told Bayer's website.

“So coming here, I'm delighted to be here and I can't wait to get started with the boys, get going and hopefully do well.

“The project [is attractive]. I said to the family that I want to go out there and make sure that I'm playing football and get the opportunity to play in front of great fans. It's massive for me to come here."
