2020 Golden Boy award: Callum Hudson-Odoi the only Chelsea player to make the 40-man shortlist

Ethan Ampadu was in the previous 60-man list but did not make it to the next round.

Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has been included in the 40-man shortlist for the Golden Boy award.

Since 2003, this title is given to the best U21 youngster who plays in a European nation's top tier, with Atletico Madrid's midfield sensation Joao Felix winning it last year.

Hudson-Odoi is the only Blue still in contention after Ethan Ampadu was eliminated in the previous round.

After recovering from an Achilles injury, the 19-year-old became an important part of the squad, making 33 appearances across all competitions in the 2019/20 season, scoring 3 goals and providing 6 assists.

Still, Callum is not one of the favourites for the award, with Dortmund duo Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland leading the race.
