Life at Stamford Bridge looked to be coming an end for Callum Hudson-Odoi this summer but almost three months on from deadline day he is finally lighting it up for Chelsea.
The 20-year-old came close to leaving Chelsea this summer until Thomas Tuchel blocked a potential move - a decision the boss hasn't come to regret.
Hudson-Odoi was open to a loan spell at Borussia Dortmund, given that he would likely feature in the Champions League for the Bundesliga side, but has instead been flourishing for the Blues.
The Chelsea boss decided not to give the green light to a loan move, holding on to Hudson-Odoi with the Champions League and League Cup fixture list expected to stretch even the deepest squad.
