Callum Hudson-Odoi’s resurgence at Nottingham Forest has caught the attention of clubs in both Serie A and the Premier League, with interest building ahead of what could be a pivotal summer for the 23-year-old winger.
The former Chelsea prospect has been instrumental in Forest’s impressive campaign, which has seen the club defy expectations with a strong league run and progress to the FA Cup semi-finals.
His renewed form has not gone unnoticed across Europe.
Roma and Napoli are reportedly monitoring his situation closely, while two unnamed Premier League sides are also said to be in the mix.
Despite having a contract that runs until June 2025, Hudson-Odoi has opened early discussions with Nottingham Forest over a potential extension.
However, no deal has yet been agreed. Sources close to the player suggest he intends to evaluate his future once the season concludes.
A product of Chelsea’s academy, Hudson-Odoi was once considered one of England’s brightest young talents.
But after a lacklustre loan spell with Bayer Leverkusen and limited opportunities at Stamford Bridge, questions emerged about his long-term trajectory.
His move to Forest has offered a fresh start—one he has seized with determination.
Now a key figure in Nuno Espírito Santo’s squad, Hudson-Odoi has not only rediscovered the attacking spark that once made him such a prized prospect but also shown a more complete side to his game.
He’s been more engaged defensively and more consistent in decision-making in the final third.
“Hudson-Odoi is once again becoming a valuable asset,” say those close to the club, and the growing external interest reinforces that view.
Forest remain hopeful of keeping him beyond next summer, especially with European qualification still within reach.
But much will depend on how the final weeks of the season unfold and whether Hudson-Odoi feels the project at the City Ground aligns with his ambitions.
For now, his focus remains firmly on helping the club achieve its collective targets—be it a top-flight European berth or a historic FA Cup triumph.
Yet with interest from Italy and beyond steadily rising, a high-profile transfer saga may soon be on the horizon for one of English football’s quietly reemerging talents.
