Tottenham ‘considered’ Callum Hudson-Odoi after rejecting £3m move last summer

Tottenham are considering a move for former Chelsea striker Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Spurs are looking to strengthen their wide options and have yet to decide on Timo Werner’s loan spell.

Hudson-Odoi was offered to the north Londoners last summer before making a £3million move to Nottingham Forest. Spurs signed Forest winger Brennan Johnson for £47m instead.

Hudson-Odoi began his career with the Midlands side, scoring eight goals in the Premier League last season.

The Guardian say Spurs are considering signing the 23-year-old when the transfer window opens.

Arsenal upset Chelsea as manager uncertainty darkens Stamford Bridge

Arsenal can hope to capitalize on Chelsea’s uncertain managerial situation by beating their London rivals to the signing of Victor Osimhen.

According to Italian station Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, both Premier League teams are interested in the Napoli striker.

However, Osimhen is reportedly keen on a move to the Gunners.

One of Europe’s most prolific goalscorers with 76 goals in 132 appearances, the 24-year-old will be on the shortlist of any Premier League club looking for a brand new No 9.

Liverpool’s £128m target

Liverpool sent scouts to watch Florian Wirtz for the last time this season in the Europa League final.

HITC say the Reds and Man City have been eyeing the German playmaker, although they may have left disappointed after Wirtz struggled in Bayer Leverkusen’s 3-0 defeat to Atalanta.

However, Wirtz has been one of the stars of the Bundesliga season, helping Leverkusen remain unbeaten in all competitions until Wednesday night.

Liverpool have been keeping tabs on the 21-year-old this season and he is reportedly valued at £128million. Could the Anfield outfit make him their most expensive signing?

Two Man Utd exits confirmed

Tom Huddlestone and Charlie McNeill will leave Manchester United this summer.

Former Premier League midfielder Huddlestone has acted as player-coach in the U21s for the past two campaigns.

McNeill, a 20-year-old striker, has had loan spells with Newport County and Stevenage in the last two campaigns.

Both players have posted statements confirming their departures on social media.

It remains to be seen which big names leave Old Trafford in the coming weeks and months.
