Callum Hudson-Odoi has decided to stay at Chelsea this summer and fight for his place under Thomas Tuchel, claims The Sun.
The 20-year-old dropped out of favour under Tuchel towards the end of last season and has since been linked with a move away from Chelsea.
It has even been suggested Chelsea have tried to use Hudson-Odoi as bait to sign either Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund or Kingsley Coman from Bayern Munich.
Tuchel's side are looking to offload some fringe players in order to kickstart their summer spending spree but Hudson-Odoi is not interested in leaving.
Chelsea fought hard to keep Hudson-Odoi when Bayern came knocking at the start of 2019 before eventually securing his long-term future with a new five-year deal later that year.

Hudson-Odoi struggled for regular playing time last season following the big money arrivals of Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz.
The England international was limited to just 23 Premier League appearances and only 10 of those were starts.
However, only three players registered a key pass more frequently than Hudson-Odoi (one every 33.1 minutes of playing time) in the Premier League last season (10+ starts).
