Hudson-Odoi urges Sancho to join Chelsea

Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi admits that he wants to see friend Jadon Sancho leave Borussia Dortmund for Stamford Bridge in the future.

Callum Hudson-Odoi has acknowledged that he wants to see Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho move to Chelsea during the next transfer window.

Having starred for the Bundesliga outfit this season, the 20-year-old is being heavily linked with a switch to Manchester United later in 2020.

However, with Chelsea also said to be keen on the England international, Hudson-Odoi has admitted that he wants the Blues to launch an approach for one of his close friends.

Speaking to Michael Dapaah on Instagram Live, Hudson-Odoi said: "Me and Sancho are mad close, we talk every other day, always seeing how each other are and how we're doing. We make sure that we're both doing well, obviously he's doing amazing and having a great season.

"Obviously he's a great player, I love playing with him - he's a great player to play with. For England as well we've played all the way through the ages so the link up has always been there.

"The way we play with each other we just know where each other is on the pitch every time and we just love to play with each other.

"I don't know if he'll come. Of course I would love it if he came to Chelsea. We've had a great partnership throughout, the way we play with each other is amazing. If he came the link up will still be there."

Sancho is likely to cost in the region of £100m should he leave the Westfalenstadion.
