Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri says that Callum Hudson-Odoi will still be at Stamford Bridge next season. Quoted by Sky Sports, Sarri said: “I am not able to say if he is going to sign a new contract, but I think he will stay here with us in every case.” The 18-year-old England international has been linked with Manchester United and Bayern Munich but the London Evening Standard says that Chelsea could offer him a £100,000-a-week contract to stay at the Bridge.

After five seasons playing for Newcastle United Spanish forward Ayoze Perez admits that his time at the Toon could soon come to an end. The 25-year-old said: “I believe in cycles and after five years [in Newcastle], I think it could be time for a change. It would be great for my career to return to Spain, play in La Liga and compete with a big club. I have played many games and I’ve adapted to a very difficult league and I think I’ve got good numbers. But life here is worse than in Spain.” (ESPN)
