West Ham United’s Mark Noble gives his take on Chelsea’s Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Hudson-Odoi, who can operate as a forward or as a winger, is a very talented and promising young player, but his opportunities at Chelsea have been limited.
The 18-year-old England international has made one start and six substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Blues so far this campaign, providing one assist in the process, according to WhoScored.
The teenager has made four starts and four substitute appearances in the Europa League for Chelsea so far this campaign, scoring four goals and providing two assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
West Ham central midfielder Noble has suggested that Hudson-Odoi would have got more chances at the Hammers.
Noble told The Sun: “Take Chelsea’s Callum Hudson-Odoi, for example. He made his England debut before starting a Premier League game. If he was at West Ham, he’d have probably played more games.
“Chelsea have so many special players it’s limiting his chances. But there’s a massive incentive to find young players. Dec is 20 but must be worth £50m now.”
Chelsea are fifth in the Premier League table at the moment with 63 points from 32 matches, level on points with fourth-placed Arsenal.
As for West Ham, Manuel Pellegrini’s side are currently 11th in the standings with 42 points from 32 games.
