Nottingham Forest handed Chelsea transfer green light as cautious warnings received

Nottingham Forest supporters are reacting to their club being linked with a £10million move for Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Chelsea are set for a clearout of players this summer and Hudson-Odoi could be among the players to leave, with a Steve Cooper reunion on the cards. The duo worked together when England under-17s won the World Cup under Cooper's leadership.

It is set to be another busy summer of transfers for Forest, with a number of players already linked to the club. There is plenty of debate about whether Hudson-Odoi should be a player who walks through the door at the City Ground over the coming weeks. Below is a look at what supporters have been saying about the link.

@ForestAdam3 : This narrative of CHO being injury prone is nonsense, he's missed 353 days in his whole career and 143 days were the same injury, he's missed 6 Games this season, he's not injury prone, he has an Achilles issue we need to be aware of but it's no reason to not sign him

@dannyJPwetton : Well Morgan Gibbs-White and Callum Hudson-Odoi were part of Cooper front 3 when he won the u17 World Cup with England... Just saying. I’d 100% have him at Forest!

@BenHarries : Achilles tendon rupture in 2019, more issues with it a year ago. I hope he's fully recovered, but looks like he needs to be in a squad situation.

@hadersmck : 100% - in todays market £10M isn’t a lot. Still only 22 and has 72 appearances for Chelsea. Still developing and Cooper has a track record of improving young players.

@SideShowBob78 : Cooper will get the very best of him soon enough

@PrinceJaq1967 : I think there is chemistry there so think he'd fit nicely. Nice 5 year contract if possible.

@jpnffc10 : I’d look at a loan with an option for a permanent in the summer. No doubt there’s a player in there but I wouldn’t commit on a player who has declined rapidly over the years

@OnlySteve68 : Not sure. If he’s not wanted by Chelsea. Who finished 6 points above us, why would he be good enough for us? Shouldn’t we be setting our sights higher?

Do you think Forest should sign Hudson-Odoi? Let us know in the comments.
