Former Chelsea youngster Jonathan Panzo claims Callum Hudson-Odoi is a top talent and has compared him with PSG sensation Kylian Mbappe.

17-year-old Hudson-Odoi impressed in the Blues' preseason and new manager Maurizio Sarri awarded him with a start in the Community Shield match against Manchester City.

"Callum was one of the best players at Chelsea when I joined," Panzo told The Sun.

"When we got a bit older it was him and me who used to play up out of our age group with the older boys.

"He's gone back there doing his thing an earned his place in that squad.

"He's a decent player and he can become an even bigger player than he is now.

"He is maybe a little like Mbappe with his speed and dribbling."
