Report: Nott Forest interested in signing Chelsea winger as replacement for Jesse Lingard who is set to leave this summer as Steve Cooper begins preparation for next season
Nottingham Forest are interested in signing Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi for £10million this summer, according to a report.
The 22-year-old looks set to leave Stamford Bridge interested like on a permanent basis this summer after spending last season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.
It’s set to be another busy summer in the transfer market for Forest as Steve Cooper looks to bolster his squad so they can climb further up the Premier League table. Hudson-Odoi could be the next man through the door.
According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea want £10million for Hudson-Odoi’s services, with Forest named as the club interested in signing the former England international.
Chelsea could raise as much as £280million in transfer funds this summer, if Todd Boehly gets his way, with Hudson-Odoi among those to leave. He made 14 appearances in the Bundesliga last season without manging to register a goal or assist. His only goal came in the Champions League during the early stages of the season.
Forest could be eyeing him as a replacement for Jesse Lingard, who looks set to leave the club this summer upon the expiry of his contract, though nothing has been confirmed by the player or club as yet.
