Chelsea ace Callum Hudson-Odoi scored to help the Blues to a 3-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday.

It capped off a fine performance from the youngster, who is subject of interest from Bayern Munich, SkySports report.

Chelsea fans are desperate for the Blues to hang onto the teenager and he showed why.

Pundit Tony Cascarino has compared Hudson-Odoi to Chelsea’s star man Eden Hazard.

He told The Times: “Callum Hudson-Odoi is going to be a star, whichever club he moves to.

“He is similar to Eden Hazard in the way that he can beat players from a standing start, with his explosive pace and a quick movement of his feet to send a defender the wrong way.”

Cascarino’s comments highlight just how imperative it is that Chelsea hang onto Hudson-Odoi.

Blues coach Gianfranco Zola told SkySports: “We believe in what he can do for this team. I don’t think there are many 18-year-old players around Europe that are are playing as much as him in a big team.”

SkySports reported that Hudson-Odoi had submitted a transfer request before the game in a bid to try and secure a move to Bayern. Chelsea are unlikely to cash in.
