Chelsea 'prepared to sell' Callum Hudson-Odoi as Nottingham Forest linked with £15m deal

Chelsea are apparently "prepared to sell" Callum Hudson-Odoi and the winger could be available for £15million, with Nottingham Forest said to be interested.

The 22-year-old rose through the West London club's youth academy before making his first senior appearance for the Blues during in 2018 during an FA Cup clash against Newcastle United. He has made more than 70 appearances for Chelsea.

The forward spent the second half of the season in Germany on-loan at Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen but failed to settle having provided just a single assist whilst also failing to score a goal during his time there.

It was previously reported that Chelsea want £10m for his services, with Forest named as the club interested in signing the former England international.

And with the Blues looking to move players on this summer, The Guardian have claimed that Chelsea "are prepared to raise further funds by selling Hudson-Odoi."

However, it is also claimed that Forest face competition from AC Milan and Fulham for his signature. The report claims that there is also interest from Saudi Arabia.

It has previously been claimed as well that Lazio are interested and that former Blues boss Maurizio Sarri identified Hudson-Odoi as a potential winger option. Having previously worked with Sarri at Stamford Bridge, it could swing the deal in Lazio's favour.
