According to Football.london, Chelsea manager Frank Lampard believes Callum Hudson-Odoi is doing better than ever.
The 20-year-old has made 17 appearances for the club this season. During that time he has scored five goals and made two assists. (h/t Transfermarkt)
The winger has been in good form of late. He impressed off the bench against Arsenal and Manchester City before putting in another stellar performance against Morecambe.
Despite the team looking more threatening with Hudson-Odoi on the pitch, he has often started on the bench. Lampard believes it is ‘lazy’ to claim the Blues are only firing when the player is on the field.
The Blues boss admits that Hudson-Odoi is currently performing at a high level. He has done well to return from injury and is once again showing his ability.
“He is playing at a really high level in terms of where we saw him last year, recovering from an injury.”
Speaking ahead of the game against Fulham, Hudson-Odoi insisted that he needed to make the most of the opportunities that come his way. Lampard for one is witnessing progression in the player and believes he will continue to get chances.
“His progression is there, he is getting his chances and he will get more chances.”
The Chelsea boss went on to label Hudson-Odoi’s form as the best it has been during his reign. At 20, he still has the best years of his career ahead of him. So far the signs look good and it is clear why he is held in such high regard.
“He is playing better than I have seen him play for us and really contributing. That is through his own hard work.”
The Blues take on Leicester City later tonight. With Christian Pulisic and Timo Werner failing to find the back of the net, Hudson-Odoi can hopefully once again be the difference-maker.
Hopefully, he is now able to get a consistent run of games and become a regular in the side.
