Nottingham Forest formulate plan to stop player joining Tottenham

One Premier League side, who are competing near the top end of the table, are now ready to step up their efforts to stop one of their wingers from leaving after finding out that Tottenham are plotting a summer move for the player.

Spurs are expected to go in search of reinforcements in attack this summer, given that Richarlison is expected to leave the club and Timo Werner’s loan spell is about to come to an end.

In addition, there have also been suggestions that Heung-min Son could be sold by Tottenham this summer as the South Korean is about the enter the final year of his contract.

It has now been revealed that Spurs have turned their attention to an England international, but they are expected to face a major roadblock in their efforts to sign the player.

Nottingham Forest keen on tying down Hudson-Odoi

Former Tottenham scout Mick Brown, who remains well connected with people who work in the game at the highest level, has now revealed that the Lilywhites have turned their attention to Callum Hudson-Odoi.

However, Brown explained that Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are keen to keep the 24-year-old off the North London club’s clutches and are thus ready to offer him a new deal.

He told Football Insider: “Nottingham Forest want to sit down with Hudson-Odoi. He hasn’t got long left on his deal, and they want to make sure he isn’t tempted to leave, because there has been interest from a few teams, including Tottenham.

“He’s always shown a load of promise that looked like it was going to go unfulfilled. Now, he’s been allowed to grow and improve his game probably beyond what most expected of him before he made that move. From a Forest point of view, that’s a selling point to convince him to stick around.”

Is a move to Tottenham on the cards for Callum Hudson-Odoi this summer?

Brown expects Tottenham Hotspur to fall short in their pursuit of the former Chelsea man, who is thought to be loving life at the City Ground.

The transfer market expert suggested that it would be difficult to turn the head of Hudson-Odoi if Forest managed to secure Champions League football.

Brown added: “They’ve done a lot to help him get his career back on track, and he’s loving it under Nuno. Once you’ve got a player like that, playing at the top of his game and gaining plenty of confidence, it’s important to protect your assets.

“They want to reward him for his good form while making sure he’s part of their plans. If they can get Champions League football or any European football, I don’t see why he would leave.”
