Hudson-Odoi shared his thoughts on the new manager’s training session with talkSPORT, saying: “Yeah, that was a session! I can’t even lie to you. For us, it’s building that relationship with him early and getting ideas of what he wants to bring into the team.” He highlighted the importance of adapting quickly to Postecoglou’s style, especially with a game against Arsenal upcoming.
