Fulham pushing to sign Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi
Chelsea Football Club has rejected an offer from Fulham for the highly talented winger, Callum Hudson-Odoi, as reported by sources. The two prominent London-based clubs are expected to engage in further discussions regarding the future of the Blues’ fringe star.
Hudson-Odoi, who has already amassed an impressive record of 72 appearances and 4 goals for Chelsea, has also showcased his abilities on the international stage, representing England in three matches. However, the young winger faced a challenging loan spell at Bayer Leverkusen, which has led to his desire for a move in search of regular first-team football.
The recent appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as the new coach at Chelsea has added an intriguing dimension to the situation. Pochettino has reportedly made it clear to Hudson-Odoi that he does not feature in his immediate plans for the club. This revelation has fueled speculation about the winger’s potential departure from Stamford Bridge.
While Fulham has shown interest in securing Hudson-Odoi’s services, Chelsea remains steadfast in their resolve not to part ways with their homegrown talent for a nominal fee. The Blues are reportedly expecting Fulham to table a reasonable offer for the 22-year-old, who, interestingly, was once a target for German giants Bayern Munich during his teenage years.
The negotiations between the two clubs could prove decisive in determining the winger’s future. Hudson-Odoi’s aspirations for regular playing time and his desire to make a significant impact on the pitch are at the forefront of his decision-making process.

For now, the attention is on Chelsea and Fulham as they continue their negotiations. Hudson-Odoi’s immediate future hangs in the balance, with both clubs working towards a resolution that satisfies all parties involved.
