French striker, Olivier Giroud has begged Chelsea boss, Maurizio Sarri to field Callum Hudson-Odoi more often after the youngster showed the stuff he is made of in his first Premier League start yesterday.
Chelsea beat Brighton and Hove Albion 3-0 in the game with Hudson-Odoi assisting Giroud’s opening goal with an amazing cross.
Hazard and Ruben Loftus-Cheek scored a goal each, but Hudson stole hearts on the night.
Giroud told BBC, “I’m not surprised [about Hudson-Odoi],”
“He’s improving. He’s got huge potential.
“I’m sure he will become a top, top player. He needs to play in more games, but it’s coming. He’s a good player and a good man in the dressing room. England can be happy to have him.”
“After 50 matches it’s very difficult to play every three days,” the Italian said. “We needed to change.
“We’re lucky because Callum is doing very well. Loftus-Cheek has no problem with his back for the first time this season. Giroud is in a good period. We’re lucky.
“Callum played very well and defended very well. He has improved during the season a lot. He’s ready to play 90 minutes in very important matches.”
