Nottingham Forest are currently emerging as the frontrunner in the competition to secure the signing of English-Ghanaian talent Callum Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea, per the Daily Mail and others.
This comes amidst growing interest from Everton and Fulham, both vying for the opportunity to bring Odoi on board from Chelsea.
The situation also includes potential offers from Steven Gerrard's Saudi team Al-Ettifaq, which could be a tempting prospect for the player, as well as French club Lille.
Key to this pursuit is Steve Cooper, who holds a crucial role in the scenario. Cooper was Hudson-Odoi's manager during England's Under 17 campaign, leading the team to victory in the World Cup.
Nottingham Forest's persuasive efforts have been notable in the pursuit of the player, making their case to bring him on board.
Hudson-Odoi's camp anticipates a busy period ahead for the 22-year-old footballer.
His standing at Chelsea has rendered him surplus to requirements, leading to his training with the under-21s following his return from a loan spell at Bayer Leverkusen in the previous season.
In his most recent appearances, Hudson-Odoi played for Chelsea in March 2022. During the previous season, he was loaned to Bayer Leverkusen, making 21 appearances and scoring once.
