Frank Lampard has cooled speculation over Callum Hudson-Odoi wanting to leave Chelsea after being frustrated over his lack of game time.

Hudson-Odoi, who signed a new five-year deal worth £120,000-a- week ten months ago, will face fierce competition for places next season after the signings of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner.

Blues boss Lampard said: “I’ve spoken about Callum a lot, he needs to keep training at the highest level, which is what I’ve seen him doing, particularly in the last week or 10 days.

“In the two games he’s come on he’s had good impacts, in the last two performances, and that’s the way he needs to continue.

“He’s a young player with great talent, great potential, and I want to see that potential come through.”

And the Independent say Hudson-Odoi will not try to force a move but will assess his options.

He only signed a new five-year contract last September, worth £120,000 a week, after interest from Bayern Munich.
