- Callum Hudson-Odoi is said to have agreed personal terms with Fulham.
- This summer, the 22-year-old has also been linked with a move to Lazio.
- Hudson-Odoi was not part of Chelsea’s pre-season tour of the United States.
Callum Hudson-Odoi has accepted personal terms with Fulham ahead of a potential move to West London.
Hudson-Odoi has returned to Chelsea after spending last season on loan with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. The Blues are undergoing a reshuffling under new manager Mauricio Pochettino.
The former Tottenham Hotspur manager has made it clear that Hudson-Odoi has no place in the first team at Stamford Bridge, and with only one year left on his contract, a summer exit looks very probable for the 22-year-old.
While Chelsea misfits Romelu Lukaku, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Hakim Ziyech have been practising alone after missing the club’s pre-season tour of the United States, Hudson-Odoi has been preparing for the next season by exercising among the club’s under-21s.
According to the Evening Standard, Hudson-Odoi has agreed to personal terms with Fulham.
Following the collapse of Marco Silva’s move to Saudi Arabia, the Cottagers are seeking to begin preparations to press on after a successful inaugural season back in the top division.
The persistent conjecture around Silva’s future looks to have stifled Fulham’s transfer activity thus far, with the club failing to sign a single new player this summer.
While Silva’s move to the Saudi Pro League may have fallen through, Aleksandar Mitrovic, the club’s best scorer last season, is reportedly keen to depart this summer amid Al Hilal interest.
However, Fulham are not the only team hoping to sign Hudson-Odoi before the transfer season shuts.
Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio are also claimed to have accepted terms with the former England international, with Chelsea apparently preferring the academy graduate to transfer abroad.
