Callum Hudson-Odoi has decided to part ways with Chelsea this summer, according to The Athletic.
The 22-year-old recently returned from a loan spell at Bayer Leverkusen. He has one year remaining on his current contract and is eyeing a move away from Stamford Bridge.
Hudson-Odoi will join pre-season training at Chelsea under newly appointed manager Mauricio Pochettino.
However, the England international’s days in London are numbered.
Chelsea will listen to offers for the attacker, who has been with the club since his early days in the Under-8s team.
A transfer appears inevitable as the Blues look to streamline their squad ahead of next season.
Hudson-Odoi made his Chelsea debut in January 2018 and amassed 126 appearances.
He won the Champions League, Europa League, FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup, but never cemented his place as a key figure within the squad.
Hudson-Odoi wants to seek a new challenge, yearning for regular opportunities in the starting line-up.
Several clubs have expressed keen interest in signing Hudson-Odoi including Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace, Fulham and AC Milan.
Forest and Bournemouth have been monitoring the winger and could offer him a route out of Chelsea.
After missing out on Manor Solomon to Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham may consider signing him.
Crystal Palace recently lost Wilfried Zaha, and Hudson-Odoi could replace the Selhurst Park legend.
Milan have signed Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea and are negotiating for Christian Pulisic. They could add another Chelsea star to their transfer shortlist.
Chelsea have yet to set a transfer fee for Hudson-Odoi, but they will facilitate a smooth transfer to his next club.
Hudson-Odoi is eager to resolve his future promptly, so he can focus on preparing for the upcoming season at his new club.
