England legend\u00a0Geoff Hurst believes Callum Hudson-Odoi would have a greater chance of becoming a regular at international level if he left Chelsea for Bayern Munich.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fledgling forward came on in the 70th minute to make his senior\u00a0England debut in 5-0 win over the\u00a0Czech Republic at Wembley on Friday.<\/p>\n

Could Hudson-Odoi leave Chelsea? Five key things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Hudson-Odoi was the subject of fervent interest from Bayern Munich in January.<\/li>\n
  2. The German club made a number of attempts to prise him away from Stamford Bridge.<\/li>\n
  3. A bid in the region of \u00a335m was rejected by Chelsea, who remain keen to retain his services.<\/li>\n
  4. Hudson-Odoi’s current deal expires at the end of next season and a new contract is yet to be agreed.<\/li>\n
  5. As such, Bayern may revisit their interest this summer, and Hurst believes it should be an “easy decision” for Hudson-Odoi to join the club.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The 18-year-old’s 20-minute cameo came after Gareth Southgate drafted him into the international fold after a number of key players pulled out through injury.<\/p>\n

    Despite not starting a single Premier League game for Chelsea this season, Southgate had no\u00a0misgivings handing the teenager his first Three Lions cap.<\/p>\n

    This will only enhance Hudson-Odoi’s growing reputation, and World Cup winner Hurst believes the Wandsworth- born starlet should now look to follow in the footsteps of contemporary Jadon Sancho and leave the comforts of London for the Bundesliga.<\/p>\n

    Hurst told Grosvenor Sport<\/a>: “In terms of Hudson-Odoi being linked with Bayern Munich, it makes sense and I\u2019d look at it and think it\u2019s an easy decision for him to make.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    “If he\u2019s playing for Bayern Munich and does well there, I think he\u2019ll give himself a better chance of becoming a regular for England than if he stays with Chelsea.<\/p>\n

    “Chelsea aren\u2019t developing English players, given the amount they have got and the number who leave on loan and don\u2019t get opportunities.<\/p>\n

    “It would be a lesson learnt again for rich English clubs like Chelsea if a player like Callum rejected their contract offer and moved elsewhere.<\/p>\n

    “But first and foremost, I really hope he does well for England.”<\/p>\n

    Southgate has “faith in younger players” – Hurst<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Hudson-Odoi’s inclusion in England’s latest\u00a0Euro 2020 qualifiers\u00a0squad came as no shock to Hurst, who has praised Southgate for his faith in younger players.<\/p>\n

    Hurst cited his own experience at international level as reason to be buoyed by Southgate’s approach, saying it was not until he became a regular for West Ham that he started being selected for England.<\/p>\n

    The 77-year-old is encouraged by the philosophy of Southgate for his trust in younger players to carry England forward.<\/p>\n

    Hurst added: “I\u2019m not surprised to see Callum Hudson-Odoi in the England squad because it\u2019s consistent with what Gareth Southgate has done in his time as England manager \u2013 put faith in younger players.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    “He isn\u2019t afraid to bring in young English players who haven\u2019t got a great deal of experience playing regularly for their clubs in the first team, and Gareth has been pushed into that because of the nature of the Premier League.<\/p>\n

    “Too many English clubs are reluctant to play young players in the league on a regular basis. Chelsea are farming out lots of young talent and when teams do that it presents a problem for Gareth Southgate.<\/p>\n

    “I wasn\u2019t selected for England until I was proving it week in week out with West Ham, but I thought I should have been given an opportunity earlier, so it\u2019s nice to see guys like Hudson-Odoi get the chance to prove it at a young age.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
