Two clubs from the Saudi Arabia league have approached Chelsea’s Callum Hudson-Odoi regarding a potential transfer.

That is according to well-respected journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Callum Hudson-Odoi, who’s now 22, is due back at Chelsea this summer for pre-season after an underwhelming loan spell last year at Bayer Leverkusen.

We’ve recently heard from the Daily Mail that Nottingham Forest is interested during this window in signing £10million-rated Hudson-Odoi.

Now, it appears like the interest in the English winger is hotting up.

Romano has explained on Twitter that two sides from Saudi Arabia, who are both unnamed, have approached Hudson-Odoi.

Apparently, Chelsea are already discussing the 22-year-old’s future with Saudi Arabia clubs, but it’s unclear on where he’ll be playing his football next season.

“Callum Hudson-Odoi has been approached by two Saudi clubs today. He’s one more name discussed with Chelsea,” Romano said.

“Talks have not started yet on the player side — not clear yet whether CHO (Hudson-Odoi) would accept Saudi move or not.”

Described as an “incredible talent” by Conor Gallagher, Hudson-Odoi has been spoken about for years at Chelsea.

It looked like he was the best thing to come out of the Blues academy at Cobham a few years ago, but he’s been overtaken by the likes of Reece James and Mason Mount.

Hudson-Odoi took the brave move of a loan to Germany last season to try lift his senior career, but he’s struggling to live up to the potential so many saw in him many years ago.
