Chelsea will have to sell a winger if Callum Hudson-Odoi is to stay at the club, according to Maurizio Sarri.
The English teenager has huge potential, but he has been continually linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge.
Bayern Munich showed genuine interest in him in the January transfer window and they are expected to make another bid in the summer.
Hudson-Odoi has found first team football hard to come by this season, with the likes of Eden Hazard, Willian and Pedro very much Sarri’s go-to wide men.
Chelsea supporters have grown increasingly frustrated at the youngster’s lack of playing time, often calling for him to play from the stands.
He played all 90 minutes and score late on as the Blues beat Malmo 3-0 in the Europa League on Thursday, however, reaching the last-16 in the process.
Speaking to reporters after Thursday’s victory, Sarri confirmed that only outgoings will enhance Hudson-Odoi’s chances of staying beyond this season:
You need to understand that, in the same position, we have Pedro, Willian and Hazard, so it’s not easy for a young player to play with the consistency with his team-mates.
I want to remind you that Callum, with this one, played 14 matches. There isn’t in England another 18-year-old player with 14 matches in the first-team. So I think that we are using him in the right way at the moment.
Of course, the 20 matches this season will be 30 matches in the next, and 40 in two years. Also, I think that the club has to decide.
If I am at the club and I want Callum on the club consistently, I have to sell another winger. Otherwise the manager is in trouble.
