"The craziest experience I’ve ever been to is watching a match there. I went to the stadium, Hearts of Oak. I literally couldn’t get in it was so packed with fans trying to get inside any way possible," he told Daily Mail.
"Because it was my first time coming back in a while, everyone was looking for me and crazy for me. My dad used to play there and it’s nice to see and experience where he used to play. But at the same with me I’m just dying, everyone was just crowding me!," he added.

The 21-year-old was given a gracious welcome by fans of the club because his father, Bismarck Odoi, played for Hearts of Oak in the late 70's and early 80's.

Callum Hudson-Odoi's father migrated to England after ending his career in the Ghana Premier League.
