DBasia.news – The tight competition in Chelsea main squad makes it difficult for young and talented players, especially from the academy, to qualify for the starting eleven. That’s why most of them are on loan to other clubs.
The decision was raising the protest, but it seems right. Many of them entered the main squad after the on-loan period. Let’s say Thibaut Courtois who was the no. 1 goalkeeper from 2014 until 2017, and Andreas Christensen, who is now shining in Derby Country, Mason Mount.
Despite the names above, there is one young player who starts to steal the attention in 2018/2019 season, Callum Hudson-Odoi as the striker. Once predicted to enter the main squad, but now he is no longer the main choice of Maurizio Sarri and often supports the junior squad.
Moreover, the English player just performed once as the starter, when Chelsea defeated the Greece club, PAOK in the Europa League, Friday (30/11). Hudson Odoi paid off Sarri’s trust by presenting the promising performance. He also scored one goal and one assist.
Realizing that his player is precious, The Blues move quickly to renew his contract. But, the negotiation since summer 2018 hasn’t reached a conclusion. Guardian reported Hudson-Odoi is requesting a condition that must be fulfilled by the club to make him stay, the guarantee to play in the main squad.
This must be a warning for Chelsea, considering the 18-year-old player is also listed in the target of two Europe top clubs, Barcelona and Bayern Munchen. Moreover, his contract at Stamford Bridge is just one and a half season until 2020.
