Lampard has given Hudson-Odoi and other Blues youngsters a clear pathway to first-team football — unlike former manager Maurizio Sarri.

And it means the 18-year-old is set to join Mason Mount and Ruben Loftus-Cheek as homegrown talent committing their futures to the club.

Lampard said: “Callum came through the Academy and can be a big player for us and England.

“He knows he has a boss here who wants to work with him to improve.

“There are a few younger players now. Some have signed, some will sign in the next month or so.”
