5 most overrated football players right now

#3 HECTOR BELLERIN, ARSENAL

Hector Bellerin in action for Arsenal

During his initial days at Arsenal, Hector Bellerin was touted to become the best right-back in the world by many.

Unfortunately, that has not been the case. After making his debut for the Gunners in 2013, Bellerin put in some top performances for the club, with his pace and match intelligence standing out. An anterior cruciate ligament injury in 2019, however, put him out of action for nine months, and he has not been the same player since.

While he remains a vital player for Arsenal, the 25-year-old is no longer a certainty to start every game. Cedric Soares has been brought in to provide competition while Bellerin has been linked with Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain of late.

#2 AARON RAMSEY, JUVENTUS

When Aaron Ramsey departed Arsenal after making 369 appearances for the club and scoring 64 goals, it was an emotional moment for both the fans and the player.

Ramsey moved to Juventus on a free last summer, with the Bianconeri rumoured to have offered him astronomical wages. The Wales international was supposed to provide dynamism and goals to a static and ageing midfield, but that has not been the case.

Injuries saw Ramsey play a minor role in Juventus' league success last season, and new manager Andrea Pirlo is said to be willing to let him go. A return to Arsenal has been mooted.

#1 CALLUM HUDSON-ODOI, CHELSEA

Callum Hudson-Odoi in action for Chelsea

Regarded as one of the best prospects to have emerged out of Chelsea's academy in recent years, Callum Hudson-Odoi is yet to showcase his full potential at the senior level.

The England international was the subject of multiple bids from Bayern Munich last summer, which saw Chelsea offer him a new contract to stave off interest. The winger has been a first-team player under manager Frank Lampard, though the likes of Christian Pulisic enjoyed a better season last time around.

The biggest beneficiary of Willian leaving is Callum Hudson-Odoi. He’s struggled for minutes behind Willian over the past two seasons, but now, he’s only pure winger in the squad along with Pulisic. Let’s see if he can shake off the Achilles injury and stake a claim for himself.

Hudson-Odoi is just 19 years of age, and there still remains room for development. However, one has to wonder whether Chelsea were too quick to offer him a new contract.
