Fulham are the front-runners in the race to sign 22-year-old Chelsea attacker Callum Hudson-Odoi in the ongoing transfer window.
According to a report by Football Insider, Callum Hudson-Odoi is the subject of interest from Fulham. And the Cottagers lead the race to sign the 22-year-old attacker in the ongoing transfer window. Meanwhile, Chelsea will happily part ways with the struggling youngster this summer.
Callum Hudson-Odoi has seen his career spiral out of control in the last few years. Once a top target for Bayern Munich, the London-born winger was showing the potential to be the long-term solution in the final third for Chelsea. But after a disastrous 2021/22 season, things have gone from bad to worse for him.
The 22-year-old joined Bayer Leverkusen on loan from Chelsea last summer. But an Achilles injury hampered Hudson-Odoi’s campaign. But he was not setting the stage alight otherwise either, managing only one goal and one assist in 21 appearances. And after returning to Chelsea this summer, his future is uncertain.
Widespread reports have claimed that the young attacker will likely leave Chelsea this summer. But the player’s £180,000-a-week wages might pose a problem for his suitors. Nonetheless, several clubs are keen on signing Hudson-Odoi in the ongoing transfer window, including Fulham.
The Cottagers have been busy in the market this summer, with players leaving and joining in the last few weeks. Aleksandar Mitrovic will be the most high-profile departure from Craven Cottage. Meanwhile, Calvin Bassey has joined Fulham this summer to bolster the defensive unit amid uncertainties surrounding Tosin Adarabioyo’s future.
Meanwhile, Fulham will look to sign Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea this summer. And the report by Football Insider has claimed that the Cottagers are in the pole position to secure his services. But it is unclear if Fulham can afford the youngster’s £180,000-a-week wages. But they remain the front-runners to land his signature before the summer transfer window shuts down.
Hudson-Odoi is also a target for several other clubs, including Lazio. But talks between the Serie A club and Chelsea have stalled in the last few days. And it will be interesting to see if Fulham can beat the competition to land the 22-year-old attacker this summer.
