Callum Hudson-Odoi has uploaded an emotional goodbye message to Mason Mount following his Chelsea exit this week.
The Blues confirmed yesterday that Mason Mount has signed for Manchester United, ending his 18-year association with Chelsea in the process.
Mount has completed his £55million (Sky Sports) move to Old Trafford as the mass exodus at Stamford Bridge continues this summer.
The 24-year-old attacking midfielder has been such an integral member of the squad during recent years, so it’ll be interesting to see how new head coach Mauricio Pochettino shapes the team next season.
Callum Hudson-Odoi, 22, is a Chelsea winger who’s followed the same path as Mount from the Blues academy at Cobham to the first team.
He posted a heartfelt farewell to Mount yesterday on his Instagram story:
“My brother Mase, from winning youth cups to playing on the big stage together! I wish nothing but the best for your future.”
This comes after club legend Didier Drogba shared his disappointment on Instagram that Mount has gone to Man United.
It will now be interesting to see if Hudson-Odoi follows Mount out the exit door this summer.
They’re two of the most talented youngsters to develop in the academy during the past decade, but each have found it difficult for different reason.
The Athletic has claimed that Hudson-Odoi has decided he wants to leave Chelsea in this transfer window.
We’re really enjoying Chelsea going down the route of signing some of the best rising stars across the globe, but it’s a killer blow whenever someone with huge talent from the academy does exit.
