Hudson-Odoi makes Chelsea a better team, says Gudjohnsen

Callum Hudson-Odoi is ready for an important role at Chelsea as he makes look like a better team when he plays, former star Eidur Gudjohnsen says.

The 18-year-old winger has made 20 appearances for Maurizio Sarri's team, but started a Premier League game for the first time on Wednesday when the Blues beat Brighton 3-0.

But the academy graduate had grown frustrated with his lack of regular playing time at Stamford Bridge, leading to him handing in a transfer request to force a January move to Bayern Munich, who say they will return for him in the summer.
