Adrian Durham hails Callum Hudson-Odois England call-up: Gareth Southgate knows him better than Maurizio Sarri does!
talkSPORT host Adrian Durham has praised Gareth Southgate for calling up Chelsea teenager Callum Hudson-Odoi to his England senior squad.The 18-year-old has been drafted in for the upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers against Czech Republic and Montenegro in place of the injured Luke Shaw.2

Hudson-Odoi has been handed his first senior England call up

Mondays announcement came as a surprise, especially given his bit-part role in the Chelsea team and the fact he has not yet even played for Englands Under-21s side.Hudson-Odoi has been used sparingly by Blues boss Maurizio Sarri this season. He has played just 119 minutes of Premier League football and is yet to make a league start.However, Southgate has clearly seen enough to award him a spot in his senior team and Mr Durham has put his support behind the move.Speaking on Mondays Drivetime, he said: England have an incredibly successful youth set up, theyve been winning things and getting to finals and Callum Hudson-Odoi has been a part of that he was a runner up at the Under-17 Euros and a winner at the Under-17 World Cup in 2017.2

Gareth Southgate has been keen to promote youth as England manager

He hasnt played for the Under-21s, but the best players do bypass the Under-21s Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney, if they played a couple of games each for the Under-21s Id be surprised if youre that goodPeople will look at the no Premier League starts and ask, how can he get into the England team?But Gareth Southgate knows this player better than Maurizio Sarri does!

People will look at zero Premier League starts and think: Why did he get in?"Gareth Southgate seemingly knows this player better than Sarri does. @talkSPORTDrive and @DGoughie on Callum Hudson-Odois England call up.What do you make of it? pic.twitter.com/OBNKBkOZE9— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) March 18, 2019
