Chelsea legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink tells Callum Hudson-Odoi to stay and learn from best teacher Gianfranco Zola
Callum Hudson-Odoi has been urged to stay at Chelsea by club legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, amid links with a move to Bayern Munich.The 18-year-old forward has reportedly rejected a new contract offer from the Blues and has requested to move to Germany, having become frustrated over his lack of first-team opportunities.The Blues academy graduate made his senior breakthrough towards the end of last season, but has only made 11 appearances this term with just two of them coming in the Premier League.Hudson-Odoi showed Chelsea a glimpse of what they could be missing with a fine goal in Sundays 3-0 FA Cup victory over Sheffield Wednesday, which was greeted by chants of we want you to stay from home fans.2

Hudson-Odoi showed tremendous touch and skill for his goal in the FA Cup

Assistant boss Gianfranco Zola hastold the 18-year-old to stay and bide his time at the club, with 30-year-old wingers Willian and Pedro both approaching the twilight of their careers.And Hasselbaink has now joined the rabble urging Hudson-Odoi to remain at Stamford Bridge, saying he will find no better coach in the world than fellow Chelsea icon Zola.I hope he stays, I really hope he stays, the former striker told Mondays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.I can understand that hes afraid of not getting regular football because the pathway at Chelsea in the past has not been great for young players.So I understand if hes a little bit concerned about that.But hes 18-year-old and hes with one of the best coaches in the world. I know Gianfranco very well, I knew him as a player and there couldnt be a better coach than Gianfranco.2

Zola wants the English youngster to stay

He can be a little bit more patient, but eventually the boy needs to see that he will be regularly playing, and that is the most important thing.And another worry for him will probably be that the last player who really had a regular place in the Chelsea team from the academy was John Terry, and before him it was probably Jody Morris, and that was a long while ago.Listen back to Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast IN FULL above
