Fulham offer £4 million for Chelsea forward Callum Hudson-Odoi transfer
Premier League rivals Fulham have offered Chelsea around £4 million to acquire the services of Callum Hudson-Odoi, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano on Twitter.
The Cottagers are interested in getting a hold of the 22-year-old this summer. To that end, the Craven Cottage side have already put in a bid for the winger.
However, it remains to be seen whether the Blues will accept the proposal. The Stanford Bridge side are looking to get £8 million for the English national. But Marco Silva’s team are optimistic about getting a deal over the line in the coming days.
Hudson-Odoi made his way through the youth ranks at Chelsea. The youngster was considered one of the best prospects to have come out of our academy in recent years.
In the 2018/19 term, the 22-year-old broke into the Blues’ first-team setup. Subsequently, the winger’s influence in the team started to grow. However, with the arrival of Thomas Tuchel in the West London club’s dugout, the English national’s game time started to dwindle.
Subsequently, last summer, Hudson-Odoi joined Bayer Leverkusen on a season-long loan. Unfortunately, the forward was unable to make much of an impact in Germany. He made 21 appearances in all competitions for the Bundesliga outfit, scoring one goal and providing one assist.
At Chelsea, Mauricio Pochettino has an abundance of attacking talent at his disposal out wide. The likes of Raheem Sterling, Noni Madueke and Hakim Ziyech are at Mauricio Pochettino’s disposal.
Mykhaylo Mudryk and Nicolas Jackson have been doing well during pre-season as well. Also, Christopher Nkunku has been added to our ranks this summer.

Therefore, competition for places in the attack is arguably going to be immense at the Stamford Bridge side next season. Hudson-Odoi seemingly needs to restart his career. Whether the 22-year-old will be able to do that at Fulham remains to be seen.
