The Daily Mail, report that Chelsea want £10million for his services, with Forest named as the club interested in signing the former England international. But according to Italian radio station Radiosei they face competition from Lazio, as reported by Inside Futbol.
It has been claimed that former Blues boss Maurizio Sarri and club president Claudio Lotito identified Hudson-Odoi as a potential winger option in a recent meeting. It is also claimed that having previously worked with Sarri at Stamford Bridge could swing the deal in Lazio's favour.
One factor that may work in Forest's favour is that they have successfully retained their top-flight status for another season. Therefore, a return to the Premier League may be more appealing.
