Callum Hudson-Odoi has opened up on his move away from Chelsea once more.
The 21-year-old has already been public as to why he chose to leave his boyhood club on loan this season, and that alone tells its own story. At Chelsea, he was a pawn on a chessboard that was far bigger and much more complicated than he had ever imagined.
He was the starlet of the academy, but he couldn't get through to Maurizio Sarri that actually, he offered just as much promise as a 31-year-old Pedro. He was slightly before his time. Hudson-Odoi's Chelsea debut came in 2018 for Antonio Conte, his reluctance to use youth ended with Ruben Loftus-Cheek's brief appearances, Nathaniel Chalobah on occasion and selling Jeremie Boga.
