Nottingham Forest sign Callum Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest have confirmed they have completed the signing of Callum Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea.

The 22-year-old has penned a three-year contract, keeping him at the City Ground until 2026.

Hudson-Odoi made his competitive debut for Chelsea in 2018 and has since made over 120 appearances, scoring 16 goals in the process.

But the left winger failed to nail down a regular starting spot and was loaned out to Bayer Leverkusen for the 2022-23 season.

However, the move didn’t work out, as he scored only once in 21 appearances.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino made it clear the 22-year-old wasn’t part of his plans for the new season.

Fulham looked to be in pole position to sign the talented winger, but they turned their attention towards Sevilla’s Lucas Ocampos.

The Cottagers re-entered the race for the young player after Ocampos turned down their offer but lost the transfer battle to Forest in the end.

The Tricky Trees have had a hectic transfer deadline day. They completed a move for Nicolas Dominguez before bringing in Nuno Tavares on loan from Arsenal.

Forest have also launched a bid for Trevoh Chalobah, while PSV Eindhoven star Ibrahim Sangare is on the verge of joining the Reds.
