Could Tottenham entice Chelsea star Callum Hudson-Odoi following Jose Mourinho comments?

Last week Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho said in his press conference that maybe Frank Lampard should be asked why Callum Hudson-Odoi isn’t playing at Chelsea.

It was a quip to take the focus away from reporters asking him about certain players in his squad. It was, however, an interesting point, considering Hudson-Odoi’s talent.

Fast forward six days and some reports have suggested the Chelsea flyer might look to leave Stamford Bridge.

Sky Sports have claimed that the England winger is unhappy with his lack of game time under Lampard.

It’s interesting that Mourinho used Hudson-Odoi’s name last week and it asks the question of whether Tottenham might pursue the youngster.

The 19-year-old has played just 38 minutes since the restart and is probably right to worry about his first-team prospects.

Hakim Ziyech has been added by Lampard for next season and that could further dampen his chances of game-time.

Hudson-Odoi has scored eight goals and registered 10 assists since bursting onto the scene and he could thrive at Tottenham.

Spurs aren’t blessed with loads of wide options and the teenager would bolster the squad considerably.

The Chelsea starlet might not come cheap. He signed a five-year deal worth £140,000-a-week as recent as last September; thwarting off interest from Bayern Munich.

Mourinho has been critical of his squad depth since he arrived at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Having missed out on the Champions League this time around, he will want to be well-stocked next season.

Hudson-Odoi is quick, skilful and has the potential to be one of the very best wingers in the Premier League.

Game time would be far more frequent at Tottenham and Hudson-Odoi could be viewed as a coup by Spurs.
