Eddie Howe looks like he is in the mood to create a team that could end the season in a much more comfortable position than Newcastle managed last time. Having signed Sven Botman, Matt Target and Nick Pope already this summer, the Magpies will be looking to strengthen their attack also. They’ve been looking at fan favourite Callum Hudson-Odoi.
The Cobham graduate, once a Chelsea favourite, has struggled for game time since his injury. The 21-year-old made quite the first impression upon his debut season under Maurizio Sarri back in 2019. Clubs, including Bayern Munich, could recognise his talent and wanted to sign him up, betting on his potential. Knowing this, the Blues quickly renewed his contract, which now expires in 2024.
Hudson-Odoi has been patient with the Blues for a long time now and has worked hard to live up to his reputation. But now is the right time for the attacker to decide on his future to avoid ending up in a similar position as last season.
