Chelsea whiz Hudson-Odoi gives up Premier League debut shirt

Chelsea whiz Callum Hudson-Odoi gave his Premier League debut shirt to his mother.

The Sun says he played 90 minutes of Wednesday's 3-0 win over Brighton in a landmark moment for the former academy star.

And the teenager gave his top to mum, ­Jennifer, as a thank you for the support she has shown on the long road to becoming a first-teamer at his boyhood club.

Hudson-Odoi, 18, has been with Chelsea since 2007 and boss Maurizio Sarri reckons he could play up to 35 matches next season.

Ambitious Hudson-Odoi may have to take a back seat again, though, for Monday's league clash at home to West Ham.

Sarri is preparing to rejig his team with a busy week looming.
