Tottenham are among the teams keen on signing Nottingham Forest’s Callum Hudson-Odoi and Sky Sports have issued an intriguing update this afternoon.
The Forest winger enjoyed a fine season at the City Ground, scoring eight goals for the Reds as they staved off relegation.
However, with FFP and PSR potentially landing Forest in even more trouble, summer sales could be needed and Hudson-Odoi is a player who holds value.
Reports emerging this week have suggested Tottenham would like to sign the former Chelsea man.
But according to the latest update from Sky Sports News, Tottenham won’t have a clear run at Hudson-Odoi, with other Premier League clubs interested.
Premier League clubs keen on Callum Hudson-Odoi, amid reported Tottenham interest
Speaking live on air on Sky about the situation surrounding Hudson-Odoi and Forest, Sky’s Matt Ford provided an update to the situation and suggested others are involved as well.
‘We’ve got a bit of breaking news for you that concerns Nottingham Forest and Callum Hudson-Odoi who finished the season very strong for Forest,” Ford said.
“We’re hearing three unnamed Premier League clubs are interested in signing Hudson-Odoi. One of those is understood to be a Champions League club, so one of Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City or Aston Villa apparently interested.
“He scored eight goals in 20 Premier League starts last season and he’s about to enter the last two years of his contract.”
Hudson-Odoi a man in-demand
There was always going to be a season where Callum Hudson-Odoi got it right and it looks like he’s finally got it under his belt with Forest.
Naturally, that’s now leading to more interest and it’s no surprise to see a club like Tottenham keen, given Ange Postecoglou’s preference to play with quick wingers.
However, the fact others are in the mix as well suggests that interest in Hudson-Odoi is rife.
For Forest, this is ideal as it drives the price up and essentially gives them a bit of an auction to oversee.
Let’s not forget, Hudson-Odoi was once linked with a big-money move to Bayern Munich, so the quality is there.
Certainly, then, this is one to watch over the summer months.
