The fact that Bavarian giants Bayern Munich almost emptied their pockets for the English winger speaks a lot about Hudson-Odoi's capability.

Despite this being an evident fact and Chelsea managing to convince Hudson-Odoi to stay at Stamford Bridge, Maurizio Sarri doesn't seem very impressed by the youngster to give him a chance in the Chelsea first team in the Premier League.

Last night Hudson-Odoi was termed the man of the match after scoring the last goal in the game and having an overall rating of 9.1 for the Londoners. Another astonishing fact was that he had a pass success rate of 89%.

The young Englishman playing with ease for all of the 90 minutes definitely doesn't give Sarri any chance of speaking against the player's capability in the Press, of not being ready to play for the whole game in the Premier League.

If Hazard is to leave at the end of this season, definitely a replacement might be needed. But the funds from the transfer might just be redirected for getting an explosive striker and developing Hudson-Odoi in Hazard's role.
