So, after Chelsea finally agreed a five-year contract with Callum Hudson-Odoi after months of protracted negotiations, the retention of the club’s young talisman while under a transfer ban has been treated with a sense of giddy joy as smothering as this English summer. Before Lampard’s arrival, Mason Mount was considered an elite prospect, but there had been little urgency to award him a new contract and another loan seemed the best next step - this time at a Premier League club – with him not quite yet seen as ready to challenge the likes of Ross Barkley for a place in the starting eleven. open image in gallery Highly touted Reece James is now set to play a first-team role under Frank Lampard It’s not in any way to say those players should not be integrated into the first-team. open image in gallery Callum Hudson-Odoi has agreed a new five-year contract That the club has been able to focus all their capabilities on combing through that academy haystack and accelerate and implement a clear strategy around their younger players – whether seen as future first-team players or not – has been to the envy of the likes of Arsenal, who have seen a number of academy graduates stagnate on the fringes or attempt to force through moves – such as 18-year-old Xavier Amaechi is now attempting.
