Chelsea star Callum Hudson-Odoi says he would love his club to sign Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund.

The 20-year-old England international is wanted by both Chelsea and Manchester United, while multiple reports claim that Dortmund are preparing a bumper contract extension to keep him in the Bundesliga.

Sancho, a product of Manchester City’s youth academy, joined Dortmund in 2017 after failing to establish himself in Pep Guardiola’s first team despite the holding him in high regard .

Since then, Sancho has established himself as both and England international and one of the most –sought-after talents in Europe, and close friend Hudson-Odoi hopes that Chelsea can pip United to his signature should he return to these shores this summer.

“I don’t know [if he'll come]. Of course, I would love it if he came to Chelsea," he said during an Instagram live video.

“We’ve had a great partnership throughout, the way we play with each other is amazing. If he came, the link-up will still be there.”

"Me and Sancho are mad close, we talk every other day, always seeing how each other are and how we’re doing.”

“We make sure that we’re both doing well, obviously he’s doing amazing and having a great season,” he continued.

“We’re always making sure each other is good. Obviously he’s a great player, I love playing with him - he’s a great player to play with.

“For England as well we’ve played all the way through the ages so the link-up has always been there.

“I played against him sometimes in the Youth Cup games or we would play each other for England, the link-up has always been there and we’ve always loved playing with each other.

“The way we play with each other we just know where each other is on the pitch every time and we just love to play with each other.”
