Callum Hudson-Odoi is expected to be the next player sold by Chelsea in this summer transfer window.

That is according to The Athletic.

They claim that Callum Hudson-Odoi, 22, may be the next Blues star to leave Stamford Bridge.

There’s been so many outgoings already at Chelsea in the past few weeks, but the sheer size of last season’s squad means there’s still more to go.

Hudson-Odoi, who spent last season out on loan at Bayer Leverkusen, is tipped to be on the move again.

Guardian journalist Ed Aarons claimed on Twitter this week that Crystal Palace, Fulham and Nottingham Forest are in the current race to sign Hudson-Odoi.

Meanwhile, The Athletic recently said that Hudson-Odoi now actively wants to leave Chelsea.

Described as “outstanding” by Thomas Tuchel (The Express), Hudson-Odoi is someone that has been around the first-team scene for a long time since breaking through the Chelsea academy.

But at the age of 22, his career does already feel like it’s at a crossroads.

We do accept it could make sense for all parties this summer if Hudson-Odoi is moved on, especially as he’s got just one year left on his Blues contract.

It’s hard to picture him forcing his way into Mauricio Pochettino’s line-up when you compare him to the current Chelsea wingers in the squad, so finding a new home where he can play regularly does make sense for his career.
