Callum Hudson-Odoi looked set to depart Chelsea this summer with none other than Bayern Munich interested in taking him to the Bundesliga. However, Maurizio Sarri's exit and the subsequent appointment of Frank Lampard have impacted the scenario.

Chelsea, after rejecting Bayern's approaches are now keen on holding on to the exquisite talent that Callum Hudson-Odoi is. This decision is echoed by Lampard's thoughts on the 18-year-old who could go on to be one of the stars of the Premier League.

Lampard said,

"I have seen Callum come through and he is a fantastic talent. We all know that and I will speak to him and I want him to stay.
"I know the club want him to stay and for me, he is going to be central for us on the pitch and that is the opportunity that is really in front of him now, certainly from where I am sitting. So that is something I will speak to him about and I hope he stays.”
