Less than a week after Chelsea won the Champions League, Callum Hudson-Odoi has demonstrated his incredible footwork in a game of cage football in Accra

Remember that great commercial from 2002 where Nike wearing superstars promote the apparel giant and their skills before the World Cup of that year?

One of the best commercials ever, in our opinion. And one of the most important details of that campaign was the cage where Henry, Ronaldo, Figo and others showed of their flashy footwork and feints.

A great video, reminding of that commercial, saw the light of day and it is coming from the Black Stars country.

Chelsea's youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi was shown displaying his silky skills and mesmeric close control in a casual cage match.

He was an unused substitute at the Estadio do Dragao in Porto on Saturday May 29, as Thomas Tuchel's side defeated Manchester City to win the Champions League.

The video shows the Englishman terrorising his markers with a number of feints, step-overs and Ronaldinho's famous elastico 'flip-flap' move. And all that while wearing his Chelsea shirt.

Hudson-Odoi is of Ghanaian descent and has received three senior England caps in 2019, playing regularly throughout the country's age-grade sides.

His elder brother Bradley Hudson-Odoi - a retired former non-League striker - was born in Accra, the capital of Ghana while their father Bismark Odoi played for Ghanaian side Hearts of Oak.
