#1 Callum Hudson-Odoi
Callum Hudson-Odoi was already a household name among a certain section of Chelsea supporters, who had the habit of keeping a cheeky eye of optimism on their youth academy, even before he made his senior competitive debut for the club last season. The 17-year-old was earmarked as one of the best ever talents to have emerged out of the academy since John Terry and it is not surprising considering the way in which he has backed up the audacious claim with his performances during pre-season.

The FIFA U-17 World Cup winner was Chelsea's best player during the notable 3 appearances he made during pre-season against Perth Glory, Inter Milan and Arsenal which prompted Sarri to grant him a starting role against Premier League champions Manchester City in the Community Shield.
Despite Chelsea's 2-0 humbling at Wembley, Hudson-Odoi was their tiny ray of sunshine in a rather gloomy afternoon and rightfully earned the plaudits for his performance at the highest level. Undoubtedly a star in the making for both Chelsea and England!
