Callum Hudson-Odoi is focused on his time in the Bundesliga and not thinking about possibly returning to England.

“At the end of the day it’s not up to me. I can only do what I can now for Leverkusen and push myself to the max here and give everything I can,” he said.

He added that he was focused on playing as much football as he can now after a career affected by injuries.

“Coming out here, my aim was to get as many games as possible and build on the fitness that I haven’t really had in the past couple of seasons. I’ve been playing a lot here and I’m really enjoying it,” he added.

The youngster does appear to be enjoying his time in Germany so far. As noted by TransferMarkt, Hudson-Odoi has played five games for the side thus far and started four of them.

While he hasn’t scored a goal for his new team yet, he has notched up an assist. He's likely to feature against defending Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich when the two sides meet in the league.
