Callum Hudson-Odoi has reportedly told Chelsea that he wants to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, with a host of clubs showing an interest in him.
The 21-year-old started just 11 games in the Premier League last term as his campaign was scuppered by an Achilles injury that meant he did not feature from the start of March onwards.
But now fit and available, he was not even included in the squad for Chelsea’s opening weekend away win at Everton on Saturday, suggesting that he is not in Thomas Tuchel’s plans.

According to Sky Sports, Hudson-Odoi has asked to leave the Blues in search of regular first-team football and his representatives have been given permission to negotiate a move.
The report adds that European heavyweights Juventus and Borussia Dortmund have shown an interest in taking the winger on loan, along with two Premier League clubs.
Those could be Southampton and Leicester, who have been named by The Guardian as teams who have also shortlisted Hudson-Odoi.

‘I want to be playing as much as possible,’ the 21-year-old told Chelsea’s official website last month. ‘Regular football brings out the consistency so I want to just keep playing and playing as much as I can.’
Hudson-Odoi has also previously been targeted by German champions Bayern Munich in 2019, but the move failed to materialise.
Ever since making his first-team debut for Chelsea in January 2018, the winger has found it difficult to establish himself as a regular in the starting XI.
Despite earning three caps for England in the past, Hudson-Odoi has hinted at switching his allegiance to Ghana ahead of this year’s World Cup.

With the tournament just three months away, it appears that he wants to get out on the pitch and prove himself, which could give him the opportunity to feature in Qatar.
Tuchel opted to name Mason Mount and Raheem Sterling in his starting line-up as Chelsea won 1-0 at Goodison Park on Saturday, with Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech both making the bench ahead of Hudson-Odoi.
