5 footballers to watch out for in 2020

#4 Callum Hudson-Odoi (Chelsea)

Hudson-Odoi has returned to fitness, and looks like he could play a big role under Frank Lampard

One of the most notable things we’ve seen this season is the opportunities that Frank Lampard has given to the younger, home grown members of his Chelsea squad. Of course, he has been forced into it at times given the transfer ban that Chelsea have faced, but we have hardly seen the likes of Pedro and Olivier Giroud because Lamprd felt he could trust in some of the younger players. Even though that ban is now over, we can still expect to see a number of young players feature in Lampard’s side.

One man who has not quite hit the heights expected of him yet are Callum Hudson-Odoi, partly down to a serious knee injury he suffered towards the end of last season. He is back now though, and has signed a new long-term contract to stay at the club. He still obviously has a lot of work to do to get to the top, but he will most certainly be given the opportunities he needs by Frank Lampard.
