Callum Hudson-Odoi has promised to "keep pushing" and "be patient" as he waits for more playing time at Chelsea.
The 18-year-old, who has been heavily linked with Bayern Munich, spoke after inspiring the Blues to a 2-0 win over Championship side Nottingham Forest in the 2019 FA Cup third round on Saturday.
Hudson-Odoi spoke to Chelsea TV (h/t Football.London's Greg Johnson): "I've just got to be patient and keep working hard. No matter what, I need to keep pushing in training and training shows the manager as well."
Those words may give Chelsea fans hope Hudson-Odoi will stay at the club beyond the January transfer window.
