Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri insists he wants Callum Hudson-Odoi to stay.

The winger is the subject of intense interest from Bayern Munich this week.

But Sarri says, “He is a very good player, the potential is for becoming a great player, and now he has to improve.

“He has to improve I think in movement without the ball. As a winger, he has to improve in the defensive phase, but he has the potential to become a very important player, not only for English football I think but for European football.

"Sometimes there are one, two players in Barcelona from the academy, sometimes one, two in Real Madrid, zero in Juventus, zero in Paris Saint-Germain. It's not easy.

"We are lucky. We have [Ethan] Ampadu, [Andreas] Christensen, Hudson-Odoi. We have three or four players from the Academy. It's really very good.

“In Europe there are few players of 18 with eight matches at this level. Hudson-Odoi this season played six, seven official matches. He is not lucky, he is good."
