Hudson-Odoi reveals Ronaldo as his favourite player & Ronaldinho his idol

The winger has expressed his admiration towards two Ballon d'Or winning superstars he looked up to while rising through the Chelsea ranks

Chelsea teenager Callum Hudson-Odoi has described Cristiano Ronaldo as a "great role model" while also naming Ronaldinho as his "favourite past star".

Hudson-Odoi has established himself as one of the most exciting young players in European football over the past couple of years, after graduating from the Blues academy in 2017.

Italian tactician Maurizio Sarri gradually introduced the 19-year-old into the first-team fold in 2018-19, but his progress was cut short by an Achilles injury suffered in April.
