Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has revealed he is more than happy to remain at Stamford Bridge after winning the Club World Cup.

Hudson-Odoi started the final against Palmeiras in Dubai on Saturday and even assisted Romelu Lukaku’s opener during their 2-1 triumph over the South American champions.

The versatile winger was close to switching to German side Dortmund, either on loan or permanently last year, after he failed to hold a place in Thomas Tuchel's setup.

But the German gaffer refused to let him go and kept the player at Stamford Bridge.
