The Blues boss revealed that he's been told by club officials that the England winger won't be sold, and that he'll "probably" stay in the summer too
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has ruled out Callum Hudson-Odoi leaving the club in the January transfer window, suggesting that it's also likely that he won't be allowed to leave in the summer either.
He told reporters: "He is one of the best 18-year-olds in Europe so it is very difficult. The club told me he is out of the market [in January] for sure. He is maybe out of the market in July.
"I am not frustrated with Hudson-Odoi, he is doing very well in matches and training. I am very happy with him but not the overall situation of course. Every big team here in England has the same problem. It isn't easy to keep young players."

It's about time every other club has to know that Chelsea are not nannies babysitting for other clubs. Neither are they pushovers who will develop talent only to have other teams who imagine themselves being bigger than Chelsea waving a few measly dollars at our players in a bid to snatch them. I just wonder, doesn't Bayern have it's own academy coz all we see them play are a number of oldmen? If they have such a good youths policy, why not start with their own rather than try to distabilize other clubs' academies? Doesn't charity begin at home for them? And you our neighbors, Liverpool, I admire your guts for trying the impossible. Next time you will be trying to acquire the trio of Messi, Mbappe and Neymar in one window. It's like sticking feathers into your body then jump from the top of a cliff hopping to fly.

I told people he's not leaving. Love it when I'm right on these kind of things. Now we give him the necessary game time to sign a new contract and hopefully he goes on to achieve great things at the club. He's our clubs future, don't let him leave us in a pinch, especially with Hazard halfway out the door.
