Callum Hudson-Odoi is about to leave Chelsea and join Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest.

That is according to Fabrizio Romano.

Well-respected journalist Romano has given the transfer move his famous ‘here we go’ status to indicate the deal is close to happening.

Callum Hudson-Odoi, who’s been with Chelsea as a youngster in the academy, is now set to complete a permanent move to the City Ground.

Romano has reported that Hudson-Odoi, 22, will have a medical on Friday morning ahead of signing with Forest.

Romano wrote on X: “Callum Hudson-Odoi to Nottingham Forest, here we go! Deal finally sealed with Chelsea after verbal agreement revealed two days ago.

“Medical tests booked early morning then CHO (Hudson-Odoi) will sign in as new Forest player.”

The Evening Standard reported in mid-August that Forest, Everton and Fulham were in a three-way race to sign £8million-rated Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea.

Now, the young attacker is joining up with Steve Cooper’s Forest to try help get his career back on track.

There’s no official line yet on how much the Reds will pay to sign Hudson-Odoi on a permanent basis.

We can only wish the 22-year-old winger all the best of luck in the hope he fulfills his potential.

The Chelsea Chronicle has rounded up any potential signings and exits that may happen on Friday’s transfer deadline day.
