Chelsea wonderkid Hudson-Odoi reluctant to sign new contract

Chelsea youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi is reluctant to renew his contract with the Stamford Bridge outfit having struggled to break into Maurizio Sarri's side.

The 18-year-old impressed for the Blues during pre-season, with coach and Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola pivotal in ensuring Hudson-Odoi was offered a new five-year deal ahead of the new campaign.

But Goal understands that the England Under-17 World Cup winner remains unsure as to whether to commit to Chelsea having made just two substitute appearances thus far under Sarri.

The former Napoli boss' decision to make few changes in either the Europa League or Carabao Cup may have helped the west London outfit progress, but it has limited opportunities for Hudson-Odoi to make an impact.
