Winger Callum Hudson-Odoi is extremely happy he stayed at Chelsea

Winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has revealed his relief after failing to land a loan transfer away from Chelsea last summer.

After struggling to hold onto a regular spot under Thomas Tuchel, the winger was eager on a move to Borussia Dortmund. However, due to the Chelsea manager’s unwillingness to let him go, he remained at Stamford Bridge.

That strategy paid off on Saturday, when Huddon-Odoi won the Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi.

“Big trophies like this are games you want to be involved in with a club like this,” he said after the game

“Big games, big trophies, you want to win as much as possible with a club like this. Our aim is always to win games and win as many as possible,”

“When we get the opportunity we keep pushing,”

“If I went out in the summer I wouldn’t get opportunities to play like this and enjoy the games and win trophies. So I’m really delighted that I stayed and obviously I got the opportunity to play,” he concluded.
