Callum Hudson-odoi : The Blues Wonder Kid Turning Over A New Leaf by virajshah125: 2:09pm On Apr 05, 2020


6 years down the line, a teenager sensation at Whitgift School in Croydon turned defenders inside out and scored for fun in his school team aged 14.

That is when he came into limelight for the first time and had only taken three years from that point to earn a Chelsea senior team call-up. He even pulled out the 'elastico' trick with ease, a trick which Ronaldinho was famous for. Chelsea's unearthed gem displayed superior class and immaculate skills as he destroyed defenders and left opponents looking puzzled and confused.

His ascent has been rapid ever since and the winger has become an integral part of this Chelsea set-up. Now, with impressive finishes and improved pace, the Blues wonder-kid has been one of the most sought-after footballers in recent times.

On the 9th of March, Hudson-Odoi unfortunately became the first Premier League player to be contracted with Coronavirus, with the Chelsea players and staff subsequently going into self-isolation. This has undoubtedly been one of the toughest phases of his young career and took a heavy toll on his body and mind. But the Englishman, with grit and perseverance, passed this examination with flying colours. He revealed that he strictly followed the health guidelines and self-isolated himself from everybody for a week. He even sent a message to his Chelsea fans that he is doing well and is looking forward to returning to the training ground as soon as it is possible.

Frank Lampard even revealed later that he is making great progress and almost feels his usual self now. He expressed his delight and happiness to see Hudson-Odoi recovering very well and urged all the football and sporting community to continue to act responsibly and look for the health of others.

He even set himself the target of making the England squad for Euro 2021. He said that the postponement of Euro by a year now gives him a target to work towards. This gives him an opportunity to show again and keep pushing himself to hopefully have an opportunity to make it to the Euros.

Many football pundits believe that the Blues youngster could save about £120 million if they choose to prioritize the development of Callum Hudson-Odoi instead of signing Jadon Sancho. Many believe that Sancho is no better than Odoi in the left wing and that he cannot fit directly into the Chelsea set-up. Even Manchester United will approach Hudson-Odoi as an alternative target if the Sancho transfer becomes too expensive. They are regarded as similar players, just that Sancho had been provided ample opportunities to excel on the big stage. He even challenged him to a game of FIFA, and revealed that Sancho brags a lot about his FIFA skills. He wants to set the record straight and doesn't mind live-streaming the entire game to show who the real boss is.

The 19-year-old has four assists and a goal in 17 Premier League appearances so far this season, and these numbers are bound to improve when he becomes an integral part of Blues' setup. Currently at the 4th spot in the Premier League standings, his contributions in the league will be instrumental in helping Chelsea make up for the 3-0 drubbing against Bayern this season ( If they avenge for their loss this season in the second leg, it would even be better... ). He is worth €72m, putting him in fifth place of most valuable footballers born on or after the year 2000. He is considered to be one of the most valuable (Just to avoid any controversy!) players born on or after the year 2000.

But he has had a string of injuries and must remain fully fit to realise his potential. Lampard truly believes in his raw-talent and has prefered him over Willian ( He is in favour of youth over experience which is a bold move...) and can’t ask for better conditions in which to flourish in and so all eyes will be on him and his development next season. David Luiz believes that he can fill in the shoes of Eden Hazard and join the Belgian as a “legend” of the club. He has committed his future to the club by signing a long term deal, taking his commitment to his boyhood club to 2024. More opportunities will come along the way but he has to be patient and most importantly, 100 per cent fit, to prove to the world that he is one of the finest footballers in the history of Chelsea F.C. to have graced the historic Stamford Bridge.
