Frank Lampard says Callum Hudson-Odoi knows what he feels about his staying at Chelsea
Frank Lampard wants to keep youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi at Chelsea and make him central to his plans for the future of the club. Hudson-Odoi remains a subject of interest to Bayern Munich. However, Chelsea do not want to sell him. Seeing as how keen ol' Frankie is to keep the youngster, he might just budge.
Callum couldn't join the Chelsea team on their pre-season tour owing to a ruptured Achilles. However, he did sit down with Lampard and the latter told him about how he fits into his plans for the upcoming season.
Lampard has now revealed to the press that Callum Hudson-Odoi knows how he feels about the current situation. He said,
"There's two things, there's the football side which I'm completely involved in - and then making sure the contract is signed, which I'm not,"
"So to say I'm confident would mean I know every side, I don't, I leave that to the club. What I do know is that the club want Callum to sign.
"Callum knows how I feel, I've spoken to him. I think he can be absolutely central to this team. We all care for the players at this club, particularly the young players - it's important I show that. Then the decision will be his and the club's together."
