DBasia.news – Chelsea has a reputation as a club that likes to lend its players to other clubs. Some of them were successful when they returned to Stamford Bridge, the rest were not.
The most obvious example is Thibaut Courtois who is now an irreplaceable figure under the crossbar of the team from 2014 to 2018, or Andreas Christensen who in the 2017/18 season was able to shift David Luiz in defense.
Now in the 2018/19 season, the Blues also have young players who have successfully been promoted to the main squad, namely Callum Hudson-Odoi, unfortunately the 19-year-old is still unable to compete with other winger and is not Maurizio Sarri’s main choice. Even the 60-year-old manager also claims that the club must first release one of the players if they want to see Hudson-Odoi get a chance to appear as a starter.
Not giving up, the English player was able to display a consistent performance every time he was given the opportunity to appear in the team’s matches. Finally, Hudson-Odoi also scored one goal when he beat Malmo and drove his team to the Europa League last 16 on Friday (22/2) WIB.
Seeing the performance shown by the players who had become the main target of Bayern Munchen, one of the mainstay attackers of the Blues, Olivier Giroud claims his teammate has almost the same quality as Paris Saint-Germain star, Kylian Mbappe.
“Callum Hudson-Odoi is one of the most talented young players, the quality he has almost resembles Kylian Mbappe,” Giroud said as reported by the London Football.
After successfully scoring one goal against Malmo and delivering his team to qualify for the Europa League last 16, Hudson-Odoi has the opportunity to take part when his team challenges Manchester City in the League Cup final held at Wembley Stadium, Sunday (24/4).
