Chelsea winger Hudson-Odoi thrilled to be playing for Lampard

Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi is thrilled to be playing for manager Frank Lampard.

Hudson-Odoi has been motivated in particular by the chance to play under his childhood idol, Chelsea legend ­Lampard.

“I always thought to myself that he would be a good manager because of the way he used to lead on the pitch when he was playing," he said.

“You could tell that he demanded a lot from the players he was ­playing with.

“It's an amazing feeling to know that an ex-player, an ex-legend, has come back to the club and has the opportunity to work for the club, and we're working under him."
