Chelsea man says exactly what Blues fans are thinking as he sends message to Callum Hudson-Odoi

It is clear what many Chelsea fans want when it comes to the future of teenager Callum Hudson-Odoi.

The 18-year-old's future has been the subject of much speculation amid interest from German champions Bayern Munich, although it has been reported that Hudson-Odoi could sign a new contract to stay with the Blues.

Hudson-Odoi has got Chelsea fans talking this week, after the Blues posted a video of the teenager showcasing his skills.

The 18-year-old has been out of action since April after rupturing his Achilles tendon in a 2-2 draw with Burnley, with the England international missing the final few matches of last season, including the Europa League final against Arsenal.

He has also not featured for the Blues as yet during Frank Lampard's time in charge, with Hudson-Odoi missing pre-season and Chelsea's opening few games of the new campaign.

But he has recently returned to training with the Chelsea first team as he nears a return to action with hope that he could be back involved with the Blues in matches soon after the international break.

And the video of Hudson-Odoi, which shows him performing some silky skills with the ball at his feet, has got Chelsea fans relishing the prospect of the forward being back in action soon.

However, that was not the only thing Chelsea fans were saying about Hudson-Odoi, with some calling for the teenager to put pen to paper and sign a new deal with the club.

They are not the only ones either, with Chelsea midfielder Trevoh Chalobah sending his team-mate a clear message in response to the video.

Chalobah, who is currently on loan at Championship side Huddersfield Town, simply said: "Sign it" with a smiling face emoji.

Lampard has, however, recently said that there was no update over Hudson-Odoi's contract situation as he discussed when the teenager could return to action.

"No update at all. I've laid my cards on the table about it a while ago and it's between him and the club at the minute," Lampard said.

"Callum is training, looking bright and sharp but now we're in the zone where it's about protecting him, giving him conditioning with fitness, especially in the area of his injury. He has had quite a long time out. Like with Rudiger’s injury.

"The international break comes at quite a good time for us with both of those and for Reece James.

"They're all in a position where, I hope, two or three weeks of strong training puts them back in the frame for the squad and available."
