Alan Shearer's previous praise for Callum Hudson-Odoi suggest the Chelsea outcast could be a good fit for Newcastle United this summer. The Magpies are understood to be one of several clubs both domestic and abroad to have confirmed their interest in the Blues winger.
Hudson-Odoi is keen for guarantees of first-team football at his next destination, with the winger now in the final two years of his contract at Stamford Bridge. Borussia Dortmund were strongly linked with the 21-year-old earlier this summer, but Thomas Tuchel was keen to cast his eye over the academy graduate in pre-season before making his decision.
Howe has so far been frustrated in his efforts to land attacking recruits this window, and has previously hinted he was open to a loan move from a Premier League rival. Chelsea are keen for the winger to go out on a season-long loan, and Newcastle are in the market for a right-sided forward to bolster their frontline options.
