OFFICIAL: Callum Hudson-Odoi has joined Nottingham Forest from Chelsea

The winger has signed a three-year deal which keeps him at The City Ground until at least the summer of 2026.

Hudson-Odoi arrives having made 126 appearances for Chelsea, winning the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League during a 16-year association with the club.

The 22-year-old impressed as a youngster, winning two FA Youth Cups and an U18 Premier League title with Chelsea, and was also part of the England U17 squad that won the FIFA World Cup under the management of Steve Cooper in 2017.

The forward made his senior debut for Chelsea in January 2018, going on to play 72 times in the Premier League and 23 times in the UEFA Champions League, making 21 appearances during a loan spell with Bayer Leverkusen last season. 

Hudson-Odoi, a three-time England international, made his debut for the Three Lions in a 5-0 victory over the Czech Republic in March 2019.

Hudson-Odoi will wear the number 14 shirt during his time on Trentside.

Callum Hudson-Odoi said: "It’s massive for me to be here and I can’t wait to get started. It’s a new chapter for me. 


“I know a couple of the boys already which was a big thing for me, and I obviously know the manager well, so it’s nice to be here and see familiar faces around.

“Forest is a big club which won two massive trophies in its history and I’m really excited to play at The City Ground. I know all about the atmosphere having watched a couple of times and I can’t wait to get playing in front of the Forest fans.”
