Hudson-Odoi skills could halt Zaha’s Chelsea move

Pat Nevin has claimed that Callum Hudson-Odoi’s “priceless” skills could halt Chelsea’s plans to sign Wilfried Zaha.

He told the club’s official website: “Callum has many talents, but that ability to go past
defenders and disrupt organised defences is priceless in the modern game.

Actually, it has always been important but it is all the more noticeable now there are fewer players who can actually do it regularly.

“This is the thing we have been missing more than anything else, at home particularly. A  player who can drive past two or three defenders will be needed if we are to kill off the
stuffy teams such as Bournemouth and Southampton among others.

“Maybe in Callum, we already have this player at the club, even if the likes of Wilfried  Zaha have been mentioned in dispatches.”
