Callum Hudson-Odoi could play for Chelsea against Hull City in the FA Cup... but who is the 17-year-old starlet who already has a World Cup winners medal in his collection?

There aren't many footballers who have a World Cup winners medal in their collection before their 17th birthday, but then Callum Hudson-Odoi is clearly out of the ordinary.

The Chelsea forward's career has followed a steep trajectory these last few months, ticking off a number of important landmarks in very quick succession.

It was on October 28 that Hudson-Odoi supplied two assists to inspire England's stunning comeback to beat Spain in the Under-17 World Cup final, rounding off an outstanding tournament.
