Callum Hudson-Odoi has completed a permanent transfer to Nottingham Forest, endi
ng his 16-year association with Chelsea.
The 22-year-old spent last season on loan in Germany at Bayer Leverkusen but now
returns to the Premier League with Steve Cooper’s side.
Hudson-Odoi came through the Chelsea Academy - where he was highly successful -
and made his senior debut in an FA Cup win in 2018 aged 17, with Premier League
action following soon after and his first goal arriving in the next season in a
Europa League win over PAOK.
The winger was part of the Chelsea side that lifted the Champions League in 2020
/21, although he was an unused substitute in Porto having come on in the FA Cup
final defeat against Leicester the week before.
Often deployed as a wing-back by previous head coach Thomas Tuchel, it was in th
at role that Hudson-Odoi played when we won the UEFA Super Cup in 2021, defeatin
g Villarreal on penalties.
In February 2022, it was Callum’s cross that was headed into the Palmeiras net
by Romelu Lukaku for our opener in the FIFA Club World Cup final, a 2-1 win secu
ring the trophy for the first time in the club’s history. Due to injury and the
n the Bundesliga loan, it proved to be his penultimate Chelsea game.
Over the course of his Chelsea career, he netted 16 times in 126 games with 60 o
f those being substitute appearances.
We thank Callum for his long service for the club and the good times we enjoyed
together. We wish him well for the future.
