According to Bayer Leverkusen managing director for sport Simon Rolfes, the 22-year-old winger needs to become more of a goal threat if he wants to start more regularly.
"He needs to show the consistency to get into the dangerous areas and threaten the goal himself. He needs to be a lot more present there. He can do a lot more in that respect. He has the technical qualities to do that," Rolfes told Kicker.
He went on to use Sardar Azmoun as an example of a player who has put himself in a better position by improving his performances.
"Sardar [Azmoun] is an example of how you can put yourself in a different situation. But it has to come from yourself," Rolfes continued.
"Callum is a friendly person, but he needs to get his elbows out a bit more on the pitch."
