One of Forest’s greatest performers this year, Hudson-Odoi arrived to the City Ground right away following his summer transfer from Chelsea.
Over the past several weeks, a number of sources have said that Tottenham is planning to bring the 23-year-old back to London after being impressed with what they have seen from him (Guardian).
Three Premier League teams were reportedly interested in the Blues academy graduate, according to a report from The Sun a few days ago, but Spurs were first in line to sign him.
According to the article, Forest may have to sacrifice the winger despite their desire to keep him because of their current PSR position.
Spurs sources talk down Hudson-Odoi links
Gold has now disclosed, meanwhile, that his Hotspur Way sources have generally played down the rumors.
The journalist said to Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham Podcast, in response to a question concerning Tottenham’s interest in Hudson-Odoi: “Interestingly, I saw some bits and pieces about Callum Hudson-Odoi out there in recent days.” It’s interesting to note that there appears to be resistance within Spurs that this is not the player they want.
“The homegrown viewpoint and the knowledge that Forest must sell players are two reasons I could understand it, but right now it seems like that’s not the person they’re going for.”

It’s possible that Tottenham saw Hudson-Odoi more as a backup option than as their top objective for a winger. Given Forest’s financial circumstances, I wouldn’t be shocked if Spurs made a bold bid for the 23-year-old to test the waters.
