West Ham United are allegedly keen to sign talented Chelsea attacker Callum Hudson-Odoi this summer.

That’s according to a report from 90min who claim that the Hammers could face competition from the likes of Newcastle and Everton for the 21-year-old Chelsea star’s signature.

Hammers boss David Moyes has already made five quality signings this summer but the Scot needs to bring more bodies in through the door at the London Stadium if we are to achieve success on all fronts this season.

Moyes needs to strengthen all over so the addition of someone who can play in multiple positions would be a shrewd move this summer.

And it seems as though the West Ham manager has someone specific in mind…

West Ham eyeing Callum Hudson-Odoi swoop

According to 90min, the Hammers could try to bring the 21-year-old Chelsea man to the London Stadium this summer.

We think that Hudson-Odoi would be a really good signing for West Ham.

The London-born ace is a right winger by trade but he can also operate on the left or in the number 10 position.

The 21-year-old can be used as a wing-back as well if need be.

Hudson-Odoi possesses absolutely blistering pace and his playing style is really direct in nature.

He has bagged 16 goals and 22 assists in 126 games for Chelsea – not a bad return considering the fact that he is only 21 (Transfermarkt).

Breaking The Lines describe Hudson-Odoi as a ‘fearsome attacker’.

It has been reported that Chelsea will demand around £25 million for the three-capped England international (Si).

We think that would represent good value for the Hammers.

And if David Moyes brings Callum Hudson-Odoi to the London Stadium for that kind of money, we think it would be a very good deal for West Ham.
