Hudson-Odoi is staying put in Chelsea?

Chelsea is set to renew Callum Hudson-Odoi contract for a new five-year contract worth over £100,000 a week, and this is according to reports.
With less than a year remaining on his current deal and with bids from clubs like Bayern Munich during the January transfer window, the 18-year-old is about to he held down for another 5 years by the Blues.
The young player seemed to be a Chelsea player for life as he was said to reject multiple bids and is not in ‘advanced talks’ with Chelsea with a plan to commit to a new long-term deal.
My Thoughts.
The 18-year-old is a terrific player and has been in form for Chelsea and with the arrival of Frank Lampard who seems to be getting along with the players, he may be doing more this new season.
It is always a good thing if a player is sought by big clubs and ultimately wooed with bug money, but then, it is a smart move to take a careful look at what the other club is offering plus what you are already getting where you are.
I am very sure, lots of these players must have learnt from Neymar's unfortunate pursuit that sees him wishing to return to Barcelona
£100,000 a week is a whole lot of cheese for an 18-year-old, but well deserved.
