Black Stars ‘prospect’ Callum Hudson-Odoi joins Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest FC has successfully secured the signing of Callum Hudson-Odoi, who was previously sidelined at Chelsea.

The winger has officially inked a three-year contract with the Red and Whites, marking his departure from Chelsea, where he had been deemed surplus to requirements.

This new deal commits Hudson-Odoi to The City Ground until at least the summer of 2026.

With 126 appearances for Chelsea under his belt, including triumphs in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League, the 22-year-old winger brings a wealth of experience to Nottingham Forest. His association with Chelsea spanned an impressive 16 years.

Hudson-Odoi’s career at Chelsea began with notable achievements as a young player, including two FA Youth Cups and an U18 Premier League title. He was also a key member of the England U17 squad that clinched the FIFA World Cup in 2017, under the management of Steve Cooper.

Making his senior debut for Chelsea in January 2018, Hudson-Odoi went on to make 72 appearances in the Premier League and 23 appearances in the UEFA Champions League. He also had a loan spell at Bayer Leverkusen last season, where he made 21 appearances.

As a three-time England international, Hudson-Odoi earned his debut for the Three Lions during a 5-0 victory over the Czech Republic in March 2019.

During his time at Nottingham Forest, Hudson-Odoi will don the number 14 shirt.
