Callum Hudson-Odoi’s past and future brought up again as new winger set to join Chelsea

This morning has been all about Anthony Gordon, with various pieces of news emerging about his impending transfer to Chelsea.

But the talk of Gordon – set to make a £60m move to the Blues – has triggered some discussion about Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Gordon will effectively be replacing CHO in Thomas Tuchel’s plans, with the winger not having managed to establish himself as a favourite of the German coach.

Not long ago, Callum would have been regarded as the far better prospect, and he’s only 4 months older than the Everton man.

A couple of bad injuries certainly set him back, and there’s blame on Chelsea too to some extent. But the saga of Hudson-Odoi’s move to Bayern Munich will be most haunting.

The Germans pushed hard for him when Maurizio Sarri was manager here, and Chelsea did all they could to eventually fight them off and tie CHO down to a new deal. They tried again when Frank Lampard was manager – what a turning point for player and club that could turn out to be.

  1. Honestly don’t see why going after Gordon, I don’t think he gives anything more than Hudson Odoi especially when you see the money Everton want.

  2. Odoi is good winger added to Abumeyang I believe something good will happen there

  3. I myself that’s pure nonsense.Tuchel is not focusing on full 9 shed but keep on spending unnecessarily,.whats the difference between Gordon and CHO.
    PUSH SHEEET

  4. Thomas Tuchel has lost if care is not taking he might end up losing his job, am sorry what his trying to do now is to scatter the team before going I will advise the new owner to really know what Tuchel want.

    1. Callum Odoi is better winger than Gordon but I don’t understand why Thomas he don’t want Odoi

  5. What difference has Gordon brought to Everton? Odoi is a better player. Besides, we need a striker, midfielder and a defender. We have no business bringing in another winger that will come to misfire like Sterling.

  6. Really football is all about entertaining and winning,CHO is a promising player, Chelsea should consider loaning than giving away the player completely.

  7. The manager will be fired by Dec if he lets this boy go. Good Coaches like Zidane will easily replace him. How can you throw away such talent. You would have to be blind, deaf and ignorant. I am begginig to think this is racial because Gordan is not better the Calum.

  8. Gordon is not needed at chelsea. All the manager needed,is a way to improve what he has at disposal. He should stop buying unnecessarily. The boy need playing time

  9. Odio is a very good winger let Tuchel give him a chance of cause he had some long injuries but he is good

  10. Callum Hudson Odoi is better winger than even Gordon, I don’t understand why coach he don’t want Odoi

  11. T T,pls find something to Chelsea team so that they can improve on Time,all what you need is to understand of players,the way they can play.
