TUCHEL INSISTS NEW BLOOD CAN STER HUDSON-ODOI INTO ACTION

CHELSEA boss Thomas Tuchel hopes Raheem Sterling can help Callum Hudson-Odoi fulfil his “huge potential” at Stamford Bridge.

The winger is a target for the Blues’ Premier League rivals Newcastle and German contenders Borussia Dortmund.

If the price is right and Hudson-Odoi fancies a particular move, Tuchel is unlikely to block it.

However, the Chelsea boss is also happy for the 21-year-old (right) to stay and show everyone what he is capable of.

Asked if HudsonOdoi was for sale this summer, Tuchel said: “In general, nobody is for sale and everybody is for sale. It depends on what the player wants, how bad the player wants it, what we think, who is ready to pay a certain amount of money.

“Then, maybe, everybody is for sale.

“But for Callum it’s the same. He competes.

“He had a long-term injury and long-term problems to overcome from which he suffered. He still has a way to go to live up to his potential, because the potential is huge.

“Having Raheem in can maybe give him the extra boost to step up and see life, what is needed in these kind of positions to reach the level that he can reach, that he wants to reach. “But he’s our player and he needs to fight, fight, fight.” Tuchel admits the All Or Nothing documentary makers would have had a hell of a show on their hands had they been trailing him instead of Mikel Arteta last season. There were times after Roman Abramovich put the club up for sale that Chelsea’s future was genuinely under threat.

And with Romelu Lukaku’s bid to get away soon after returning playing out in the dressing room, the TV crew would have had some serious field days.

Tuchel said: “It would have been interesting.

“In the end, to be honest, I watch those shows also, because I am curious and I want to see it.

“I understand that 100 per cent I would have watched it as a kid over and over again.

“But at the same time I’m not so sure you see everything.”
