Lampard Urges Hudson-Odoi To Mimic Sterling 

Lampard Urges Hudson-Odoi To Mimic Sterling 

Frank Lampard wants youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi to mirror Manchester City's Raheem Sterling to assist in his development.

The 18-year-old has been touted as one of Chelsea’s future stars since joining the senior team from the youth side.

And Hudson-Odoi yelling for more first-team opportunities last season under departed Maurizio Sarri nearly joined German giants Bayern Munich but Chelsea were able to keep hold of him.

Having recently extended his stay with the Blues after returning from an injury he sustained in April and also staring in Chelsea’s demolishing of Grimsby in the Carabao Cup with a goal, Lampard is urging the pacey winger to consider Sterling as his role model for better development.

"I know Callum's talent and he has got huge talent, hence why the club were so keen to get him signed up. We're all delighted with that, but there's a lot of work for Callum to do, lots of work," he told UK newspapers.

"You can look around and look at fantastic examples and not even at this club.

"I don't like to talk about other club's players but Raheem Sterling is an incredible example of a player with great talent, whose work ethic added to that talent and improvement in a short period of time through absolute dedication, has seen him become a complete player, who we are all wowed by.

"He is a great model for Callum because Callum has those talents. I want him to be the absolute best because he has the potential to do that and some of it is about hard truths and I saw some hard truths in the game the other day – ways that he can improve.

"He needs to listen to them and he will. Then he can be that player for us."

Eyeing for a first home win for the season, Lampard’s Chelsea will welcome Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.
