Newcastle United are one of a host of clubs interested in Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi. The Magpies reportedly face competition from the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Leicester City for the 21-year-old.
It's not the first Hudson-Odoi has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, and he has been questioned on his Chelsea future in the past.
The winger was heavily linked with a move to Bayern Munich in 2019, and he was asked about the links following Chelsea's FA Cup win against Sheffield Wednesday, refusing to rule out a move to the German giants.
“I don’t know (if it’s my final game),” Hudson-Odoi said. “I can’t say. I keep working hard and you never know what’s going to happen. I can’t say."

After Chelsea won the FIFA Club World Cup in February, Hudson-Odoi spoke about his decision to stay at the Blues, despite interest from other clubs.
“If I went out in the summer I wouldn’t get opportunities to play like this and enjoy the games and win trophies," he said.
“So I’m really delighted that I stayed and obviously I got the opportunity to play.”
The biggest recent indicator Hudson-Odoi has given about his future was in an interview last month with Chelsea's website. The winger was asked about how he plans on rediscovering his best form ahead of the new season.
He replied: "I want to be playing as much as possible. Regular football brings out the consistency so I want to just keep playing and playing as much as I can."
If Chelsea cannot guarantee the regular football he craves then a loan move away from Stamford Bridge may well be his next port of call.
