Campbell makes ‘incredible’ Callum Hudson-Odoi claim after Arsenal transfer news
Kevin Campbell has claimed Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi would be an “incredible” signing for Arsenal this summer.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Gunners and Everton striker said the 21-year-old has “gone under the radar” at Stamford Bridge of late.
Hudson-Odoi has not featured for Chelsea this season and was an unused substitute at Leeds United on Sunday.
The winger has fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge following the arrival of Raheem Sterling.
According to The Chelsea Spot Podcast (16 August), Arsenal are in the race to sign Hudson-Odoi as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his attack.
The winger has two years remaining on his contract.
Campbell fears Hudson-Odoi would not get the game time he desires at the Emirates.
“Hudson-Odoi has kind of gone under the radar for whatever reason,” he told Football Insider.
“Thomas Tuchel probably does not fancy him anymore.
“This is the top part of football. If he want to play he is not going to play a lot at Arsenal either. That’s the thing. It is a difficult one.
“He would be part of the squad and he would get game time but he would not be a starter. If he wants to be starting regularly, Arsenal isn’t the place.
“I like him as a player. He has incredible ability and can play on the left and right side. I cannot see it happening though, if I’m honest.”
