Chelsea prepared to sell Callum Hudson-Odoi with Nottingham Forest on high alert

Gametime at Chelsea has become gradually more and more scarce for the 22-year-old, who has made 70 appearances for the Blues in total.

Hudson-Odoi spent the second half of last season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen where he made 21 appearances, scoring no goals and making one assist in an underwhelming spell in Germany.

The England youth international has a fan in former boos Maurizio Sarri, who is now Lazio manager, while Forest are also interested with a £10m asking price reportedly set by Chelsea.
