Tottenham are considering signing Callum Hudson-Odoi in January, although a deal will be unlikely given Nottingham Forest’s position.
According to Mick Brown on Football Insider, Tottenham could revive their interest in Callum Hudsopn-Odoi ahead of the January window. The north Londoners are looking to make changes to their left wing, and the former Chelsea star is seen as an ideal addition. However, any deal will seem unlikely given Nottingham Forest’s current position.
Tottenham have improved their form recently, and now Ange Postecoglou will want to see the conviction in their efforts to break into the top four. Spurs will be eying up a few key additions ahead of the January window, as recent reports stated they are prioritising a midfielder in the winter market.
A midfielder aside, Postecoglou may even push to bring in a new left-sided attacker as there are some concerns over that area of the pitch. A recent report stated they are not planning to renew Son Heung-min’s deal, while there are persistent doubts about Timo Werner’s capabilities.
In fact, Tottenham are planning to part ways with the Germans in January, which could open up space for a new arrival in that month. They were keen on Callum Hudson-Odoi back in the summer and could revive their interest in the 23-year-old attacker Nottingham Forest star ahead of January.
Former Manchester United assistant manager Mick Brown insists that the interest is there from Tottenham’s end, alongside a few others in Hudson-Odoi. He insists that Spurs might even try to get him in January, although he does not see any deal materialising.
Brown said, “Tottenham were interested in him during the summer, and I’m told that interest hasn’t faded as they would still like to sign a new winger. Of course, when a side like Forest, with all due respect, are performing above their usual level, the high-flying players start to attract interest.”
“I wouldn’t expect a deal to happen in January. He’ll need to show this type of form throughout a season, but there’s definite interest.”
Nottingham Forest unlikely to sell Hudson-Odoi
Nottingham Forest have been tremendous this season, as their latest win against West Ham pushed Nuno Espirito Santo’s side into the third spot behind Liverpool and Manchester City. Forest are unlikely to sanction any unwanted sales that could scupper their season’s plans, which might not point towards breaking into the top six at the very least.
The 23-year-old attacker is a vital part of Espirito Santo’s plans, and the Portuguese manager is unlikely to consider offloading him at any price. Spurs might even push for a transfer, although Forest have the power over the attacker’s future and will shut all doors over a possible exit in January.
