Robben gives his take on Callum Hudson-Odoi (The Mirror)
Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben, who once played for Chelsea, told beIN Sports his opinion of Callum Hudson-Odoi and what he would advise the young player to do (as captured by The Mirror):
He is one of the best (young players) in Europe. You are better off getting your chance and if you get that chance then you have to take it. For young players, it’s always the same. First, you have to take the big step to achieve it. Become a professional football player at the highest level, get into the first team, get your place. Then, second, which can be more important, what’s sometimes missing is that you have to stay there. Staying there is often more difficult than actually becoming a footballer in the first place. You have to to prove it, game after game, season after season and don’t be happy. Don’t just be happy when you achieve something little or small.

Thiago praise drawn from tweet about Grillitsch (@WhoScored)
Hoffenheim’s Austrian midfielder Florian Grillitsch has become a hot commodity of late. The 23-year-old has been linked to Tottenham Hotspur and when WhoScored.com started digging into Grillitsch’s stats, it found that the Hoffenheim man trailed only Thiago Alcantara in dribble success rate in the Bundesliga this season.
Not bad company to keep.
️ @BenMcAleer1: "Indeed, of the 150 players to attempt more than 10 dribbles, only Thiago Alcantara (94.3%) has a better dribble success rate than Grillitsch (85.7%) in the Bundesliga this season."
