Hudson-Odoi joined the Chelsea academy as a six-year-old and progressed through the academy of the Blues before being handed his first-team debut by Antonio Conte at the age of 17.
The England international was part of the U17 squad that won the World Cup in India and 2017, and in 2019 became the youngest debutant to start a competitive match for England.
The winger flourished under Maurizio Sarri and Frank Lampard over the following seasons but has struggled for game time since Thomas Tuchel took charge of Chelsea at the start of 2021.
The 21-year-old has made 126 appearances for Chelsea but started just 11 league games last season and couldn’t get back in the team after recovering from an injury that kept him out for two months at the start of the year.
His lack of game time has resulted in rumours of the youngster moving elsewhere to find some games, with Newcastle currently touted as the most likely destination.
The Saudi-backed club are looking to leap up the table and improve on their 11th place finish last season, and make a challenge for the European places next season.
The Magpies have already spent £60m this window but are yet to bolster their attack, which is an area they have expressed their desire to strengthen in.

Betfair odds
- Newcastle – 3/1
- Everton – 6/1
- AC Milan – 8/1
- Roma – 8/1
- Arsenal – 10/1
- Manchester United – 20/1
Hudson-Odoi’s former Chelsea manager Lampard, is rumoured to be interested in re-uniting with him at Everton.
The Toffees have recently sold Richarlison to Tottenham so are looking to re-bolster their attack.
Lampard and Hudson-Odoi enjoyed a good relationship at Stamford Bridge, and it’s thought that the winger would be an upgrade on the likes of Demarai Gray, Alex Iwobi and Andros Townsend at Goodison Park.
Betfair are pricing a move to the blue side of Merseyside at 6/1.
Italian sides AC Milan and Roma are both priced at 8/1 to sign the winger, sides where Chelsea academy graduates have recently enjoyed success.
Fikayo Tomori started 30 games for AC Milan last season as he helped the Rossoneri to their first league title in 11 years, while Tammy Abraham, managed by Jose Mourinho, scored 26 goals last year to help the club to the Europa Conference League title.
Arsenal are priced at 10/1 to sign Hudson-Odoi – the Gunners have a range of young wingers and attacking midfielders, and the signings of Marquinhos and Fabio Vieira already this summer might make the move less likely.
A move to Old Trafford for Hudson-Odoi has been given odds of 20/1 by Betfair.
