Sarri: Hudson-Odoi and Ampadu can be like new signings

The Blues boss is keen to make a couple of tweaks to his squad in January, but will keep the tinkering to a minimum to give the youngsters a chance

Maurizio Sarri plans on giving Chelsea's two best teenagers, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ethan Ampadu, the chance to integrate into the first team in the second half of their season, rather than go on a spending spree to plug gaps in the squad.

Hudson-Odoi's long-term future remains in doubt as he refuses to renew his Blues contract with just 18 months remaining, leaving Bayern Munich hopeful that they can secure a £35 million deal for the 18-year-old in January.
