Chelsea ignore David Luiz's 'next Eden Hazard' transfer advice in brutal plan to trim wage bill

Todd Boehly seems prepared to do whatever it takes to trim down the Chelsea squad this summer, and Callum Hudson-Odoi is under the magnifying glass. The 22-year-old winger faces an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge, with his contract set to expire at the end of next season.

Hudson-Odoi featured just 14 times for Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga last term, recording just one assist. The Cobham graduate struggled to make any sort of impact in the German top-flight and, with just 12-months remaining on his deal, the Blues are reportedly eager to cash in while they still can.

Mauricio Pochettino is already treated to a wealth of exciting options on the wing next season, with Raheem Sterling, Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke, among others too, all competing for minutes. According to the Express, Nottingham Forest, Fulham, Crystal Palace and West Ham are all thought to have enquired about Hudson-Odoi's availability, but neither have submitted an official bid.
