BBC confirms that Callum Hudson-Odoi is “hopeful” of a new contract

Glance at the BBC Football homepage and you’ll see a story a little further down about Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Of course this is pretty much peak sport season, with several football competitions coming to an end and Wimbledon and the Cricket World Cup in full swing, as well as plenty of transfers. But for Chelsea fans this is a big story.

They claim that Hudson-Odoi is “hopeful” of signing a new deal after his talks with Frank Lampard. Of course it’s no guarantee but if a player wants to sign and a club want to keep him, it’s pretty tricky for a contract to not get worked out.

The signs are all pointing in the right direction on this one, and with his injury looking less severe than initially thought, we could be set to continue what has been a meteoric rise for the kid.

Let’s not count our chickens yet, but as long as he’s “hopeful”, we’re ecstatic.
