Nottingham Forest have now made contact with Callum Hudson-Odoi’s camp about signing the Chelsea player this summer, according to reports.
London World claims that Forest have touched base with Callum Hudson-Odoi’s representatives to register their interest.
It is understood that Premier League rivals Crystal Palace are monitoring the 22-year-old’s current situation, too.
The Blues winger is due back at Stamford Bridge for pre-season after an uninspiring one-year loan at Bayer Leverkusen, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens in his immediate future.
The Daily Mail claimed earlier this week that Forest are a potential suitor this summer to sign Hudson-Odoi. Also, Chelsea will want around £10million to sell him.
Meanwhile, journalist Rahman Osman reported on Twitter that Hudson-Odoi will hold talks with Chelsea’s new manager, Mauricio Pochettino, before deciding his next move.
We could definitely picture him fitting into a Pochettino system, but it feels like a long way back for him at Stamford Bridge.
It’s been a couple of years since we’ve seen the Hudson-Odoi that was widely tipped as one of the world’s best youngsters.
Our guess is Chelsea wingers such as Raheem Sterling, Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke could be in for big seasons next year.
There should be room for wide players to thrive in Pochettino’s favoured 4-2-3-1 system, but perhaps Hudson-Odoi’s best step would be to go play regular first-team football elsewhere.
