The 22-year-old rose through the West London club’s youth academy before making his first senior appearance for the Blues in 2018 during an FA Cup clash against Newcastle United. He has made more than 70 appearances for Chelsea.

The forward spent the second half of last season in Germany on loan at Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen but failed to settle having provided just a single assist whilst also failing to score a goal during his time there.

And now he looks set to leave Stamford Bridge in a permanent deal this summer with Forest interested. Previous reports have also claimed that Fulham and Everton were also looking to sign the winger.

But Sky Sports claim that Forest are closing in on a deal for Hudson-Odoi. It is claimed that “there is still work to be done” but personal terms are “not expected to be a problem”.

The report adds that “two other Premier League clubs are interested” and that they are “keeping an eye on his situation”.

Hudson-Odoi could potentially be Forest’s sixth new signing of this summer transfer window and the second arrival from Chelsea. Andrey Santos signed on loan from the Blues on Friday whilst Ola Aina, Anthony Elanga, Matt Turner and Gonzalo Montiel have also joined after Chris Wood’s loan move was made permanent.
