Forest Push for New Deal as Hudson-Odoi Shines
Nottingham Forest are working quickly to secure Callum Hudson-Odoi’s future. They have opening talks over a fresh contract after his standout season. The 24-year-old winger played a key role in Forest’s return to European football for the first time in 30 years. He managed to score five goals and assisting three more.
He was signed from Chelsea in a bargain £5m deal. Though Callum has just one year left on his current contract. And Forest don’t want to take any chances. The club is eager to reward him with a extension. They want to keep him away from the grip of Europe’s big guns. They know the winger is happy at the City Ground. That is especially as head coach Nuno Espirito Santo is ready to spend big this summer. The manager wants to strengthen the squad for their European campaign.
United, Roma & Napoli Eye Move but Forest Stay Firm
Man Utd, Roma, and Napoli are all tracking Hudson-Odoi this summer. Although, Utd had already shown interest in January but were met with a hard no from Forest. New boss Ruben Amorim is keen to add pace and flair to his wide options. Hudson-Odoi’s recent form has him on their radar once again.
Meanwhile, both Roma and Napoli are preparing to approach Forest in hope of testing their resolve. Nuno’s side are maintaining their position with club’s board. They are optimistic that they can hang onto their star man through a new deal that recognises his growing influence.
After rising through Chelsea’s youth system, Hudson-Odoi bagged 156 appearances. Additionally, he also had a loan spell at Bayer Leverkusen. He is playing with fresh form and will be willing to stay at Forest.
