Callum Hudson-Odoi told talkSPORT he was inspired by Jadon Sancho’s journey to England team, after the Chelsea starlet made his senior Three Lions debut on Friday night.
Hudson-Odoi received a late call-up to Gareth Southgate’s squad this week, and came off the bench in England’s emphatic 5-0 victory over the Czech Republic in their Euro 2020 qualifying opener.
By doing so, the 18-year-old became the youngest Englishman in history to earn his first senior cap in a competitive game.

Callum Hudson-Odoi impressed with his no-fear attitude in his England debut
He finished the match at Wembley Stadium playing on the opposite wing to fellow teen star Sancho, who he has kept a close eye on this season.
Sancho decided to leave Manchester City for German club Borussia Dortmund in 2017 after becoming frustrated by his lack of first-team opportunities at the Etihad Stadium – and his move had paid dividends.
The 18-year-old has been in stunning form this season – with nine goals and 17 assists in 35 games for the Bundesliga side – and has been rewarded with a place in England’s last two squads, making four appearances.

And, asked if he took inspiration from Sancho’s path to the team, Hudson-Odoi told talkSPORT’s England correspondent Nigel Adderley: “Yeah definitely.
“Sancho has played so well this season. I’ve been watching him, so to come on the pitch and play with him and link up with him. It was absolutely amazing, a great feeling.
“Playing two youth players, it’s massive for England and the youth set up. Everyone is trying to push the youth to come through, which is amazing.
