During his time at Chelsea, Hudson-Odoi struggled with injuries, including a ruptured Achilles that he never seemed to fully recover from, while at Stamford Bridge.
Last season, Hudson-Odoi appeared in 36 games in all competitions for the Tricky Trees, scoring five goals, while providing three assists. It remains to be seen if the 24-year-old will be at the City Ground long-term, but it’s clear the ex-Chelsea man is finally starting to fulfil his potential.
