Callum Hudson-Odoi has sent a message to Chelsea following his transfer to Premier League side Nottingham Forest.

Reports claim Chelsea will receive just £3million as fee for the transfer of Hudson-Odoi, with £5million in add-ons.

Hudson-Odoi, who came through Chelsea’s academy, registered 16 goals and 22 assists across 126 games for Chelsea and has paid tribute to the club’s fans.

“To the Blue Army… The time has come for me to bid Chelsea FC farewell,” Hudson-Odoi posted on social media with a video highlighting his favourite moments with the Blues.

“For the longest time, Chelsea has been my home. My best memories will always be playing in front of you all at The Bridge.

“I would like to thank everyone that has supported me so far. Until next time. CHO.”

Hudson-Odoi, speaking to the Forest website after his move to the City Ground was confirmed, added: “It’s massive for me to be here and I can’t wait to get started. It’s a new chapter for me. I know a couple of the boys already which was a big thing for me, and I obviously know the manager well, so it’s nice to be here.”
