CALLUM HUDSON-ODOI wants to leave Chelsea, according to reports.
The Athletic claims that, despite reporting for training for the first day of pre-season under Mauricio Pochettino, the winger is not expected to be with the Blues for much longer.
Hudson-Odoi, 22, spent last season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen and Chelsea are said to be prepared to listen to offers for him.
Nottingham Forest, AC Milan and near-neighbours Fulham are said to be among the clubs interested in the England star.
Hudson-Odoi broke into the team towards the end of Antonio Conte’s spell in charge in 2017.
And he showed huge potential under Conte’s successors Maurizio Sarri and Frank Lampard.

He was then moved to wing-back under Thomas Tuchel, where he initially showed promise.
But in 2021 he was subbed on at half time of a 1-0 loss to Southampton, then later subbed off again.
After the match, Tuchel said: “I was not happy with his attitude, energy and counter-pressing.
“I took him off and we demand 100%, I feel he is not in the right shape to help us.

“It was a hard decision but tomorrow it is forgotten.”
Later that year, Tuchel questioned Hudson-Odoi’s attitude when he chose not to play for England U21 after previously being called up to the senior team.
The England international, who has been courted by Ghana, had an underwhelming loan with Leverkusen.
He played 22 matches in total, scoring just once with a deflected goal against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
