Various clubs from the Premier League and abroad are showing interest in signing Callum Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea this summer, according to reports.
The 21-year-old has been at the Blues for the whole of his career, coming through the academy ranks at Cobham to break into the first team.
He rejected a contract offer from Bayern Munich back in 2019 and has therefore stayed at the club ever since, going on to have a helping hand in Chelsea’s recent success.

Hudson-Odoi had a decent opening few weeks last season but he missed a big chunk of the campaign through injury, suffering a problem to his achilles tendon.
Although he has another two years on his contract at Stamford Bridge, a move away from west London could be on the cards once again.
According to The Athletic, ‘major clubs’ from the Premier League and abroad have been making enquiries over a potential signing of the attacker.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel highly rates the Cobham graduate, and there have been talks between co-owner Todd Boehly and the player’s representatives regarding his situation at the club.
Hudson-Odoi made his debut for the club back in 2018 when he came on as a substitute in an FA Cup tie against Newcastle United, with his first Premier League appearance coming against Bournemouth shortly after.
The winger then made a big impact in the 2018/19 season under Maurizio Sarri, scoring four goals and assisting two others in their Europa League winning campaign.
Across the following three terms he continued to feature for the Blues and has now made a total of 126 appearances for the club, but his progress has been halted by various injury problems.

While Hudson-Odoi still has the ability to compete for a starting spot under Tuchel, the club’s activity in the transfer market could suggest otherwise.
Chelsea are close to signing Raheem Sterling from Manchester City in a deal that will cost them around £55 million altogether.
The 27-year-old is set to leave City after seven seasons and he may not be the only player to make the switch from the Etihad Stadium to Stamford Bridge, with the Blues also interested in defender Nathan Ake.

Leeds United winger Raphinha has also been the subject of transfer speculation, but it is thought that Barcelona are closing in on a deal for the Brazilian.
A move to Camp Nou is believed to have always been his preference, with a transfer to Chelsea now looking unlikely.
