Chelsea could sell Callum Hudson-Odoi to Premier League rivals Fulham this summer with a bit of help from former player Willian.

That is according to The Evening Standard.

They explain that Fulham and Nottingham Forest are both want to sign wide players in this transfer window, with Callum Hudson-Odoi and Willian on the radar of each club.

It is understood that Forest are confident of beating Fulham in the race to sign 34-year-old free agent Willian, despite the latter offering him a contract to spend another year at Craven Cottage.

The report says that Willian heading to Forest would give Fulham an edge in the transfer battle for Chelsea’s Hudson-Odoi, though.

The Evening Standard mentions that Hudson-Odoi, 22, wants to reject offers from Saudi Arabia to join a Premier League rival. Fulham, Forest and Crystal Palace are the top-flight English sides named as interested buyers.

We’re not too surprised to hear there’s a queue of clubs lining up for Hudson-Odoi this summer, but it’s Willian who could inadvertently help Fulham sign the Chelsea player.

Hudson-Odoi, who earns £120,000-a-week (Spotrac), is strongly linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer.

It’s no surprise considering The Telegraph reports Hudson-Odoi is currently training away from the main group at Cobham.

We recently heard from The Athletic that Hudson-Odoi is expected to be the next player to leave the club.

In our view, Marco Silva’s Fulham could be a great new home for young attacker Hudson-Odoi, who needs to try get his career back on track and fulfil his potential.
