The Chelsea forward is still yet to speak to Mauricio Pochettino following his arrival at Stamford Bridge.
Nottingham Forest have appeared as the frontrunners to sign Chelsea forward Callum Hudson-Odoi this summer, but they aren’t the only club interested in the Premier League.
How old is Callum Hudson-Odoi?
Hudson-Odoi is 22 years of age so should be playing football on a regular basis and entering some of the prime stages of his career, but that’s not the case because his future is extremely uncertain having been sent out on an unsuccessful loan to Bayer Leverkusen last season.
England’s former international’s contract is also set to expire in less than a year meaning that this window is Mauricio Pochettino’s ideal opportunity to cash in, something which looks likely considering he’s told chiefs that he wants to leave, whilst being yet to communicate with his manager since taking to the dugout.
The Blues’ left-winger already holds an existing connection to Steve Cooper having worked under him during his time with the Three Lions’ U17s, and The Evening Standard recently reported that the Reds had entered the running to sign him, alongside Everton and Fulham.
The Cottagers were believed to be leading the race, but with that move having since collapsed, the contest has really opened up, giving his other potential suitors a chance to swoop him, and there’s a possibility that he could be on his way to The City Ground.
Are Nottingham Forest signing Callum Hudson-Odoi?
According to TEAMtalk, Nottingham Forest are “emerging as favourites” to sign Hudson-Odoi, with Chelsea “open” to sanctioning his sale before the end of the window.
With Fulham and now also Everton’s move for the attacker having “stalled”, this leaves the “path clear” for Cooper to form a reunion with his ex-international starlet.
The Stamford Bridge academy product also had his brother, who is his agent, as an “interested observer” watching on from the stands at last week’s match vs Sheffield United, further sparking speculation that he could be joining in the coming weeks.
