Frank Lampard has shut down the transfer rumours linking Callum Hudson-Odoi with a move away from the club this summer.
Chelsea have done some wonderful transfer business this summer window, but their arrivals has meant that a number of talented players may have to seek a move away in order to get the game time that they need.
And The highly-rated England international, 19, has fallen down the pecking order for the 2020/21 campaign with all the transfer signings that have been been signed by Lampard and that has led to speculation in the media that he is now seeking a move away from the club.
That has led to speculation that the likes of Bayern Munich and Manchester United have both made an approach to Chelsea about a possible deal for the young man, but after a couple of impressive performances, Lampard insisted he has no interest in selling the England international to Manchester United or any interested parties.
“We are not inundated with wingers,” he was quoted on the Daily Express.
“We lost Pedro and Willian in the summer and we need competition and players because of the stress of the competitions we have to play in.
“I certainly hope Callum has a big part to play this season. If Callum comes on and makes an impact like he did against West Brom, if he keeps improving and developing every day, he is a huge talent – so let’s see.”
There is no doubt that Hudson-Odoi has alot of potential in those young legs of his, but he has not fulfilled the potential that many Chelsea fans had of him before he signed that contract last summer. He has a bright future in the game so the news that Lampard does not want to let him leave this summer, will be a massive boost to all the fans.
