- Winger was left out of squad entirely for win at Everton
- Southampton could also challenge for 21-year-old’s signature
Callum Hudson-Odoi has asked to leave Chelsea on loan before the transfer window shuts. The winger was not even named on the bench when Chelsea opened their Premier League campaign with a 1-0 win over Everton on Sunday. Hudson-Odoi has struggled for opportunities under Thomas Tuchel and he believes that a move would increase his chances of playing regularly.
Leicester and Southampton are two of the clubs who are interested in signing Hudson-Odoi on loan. Chelsea are interested in signing the Leicester centre-back Wesley Fofana this summer and are willing to bid £85m for the Frenchman, but they are yet to indicate that they will offer Hudson-Odoi to the Midlands club as part of that deal.
