Chelsea reportedly face a battle to convince youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi to pen a new contract at Stamford Bridge.

Callum Hudson-Odoi has reportedly indicated that he wants assurances over his game-time before penning a new contract at Chelsea.

The 18-year-old is regarded as one of the top prospects in English football, and the teenager netted his first senior goal for the club during the Europa League victory over PAOK.

However, Hudson-Odoi was featuring in a starting lineup for the first time since the Community Shield, and it has allegedly left the winger in two minds over whether to extend his stay at the Blues.

According to the Daily Mail, Hudson-Odoi will only commit his immediate future to the West Londoners should he be provided with more first-team action over the next stage of his career.

The England Under-20 international has been forced to watch Jadon Sancho and Reiss Nelson - two players in a similar age range - make an impact in the Bundesliga, and Bayern Munich are said to be monitoring the situation.

Hudson-Odoi's current contract is due to expire in 2020.
