Nottingham Forest head coach Nuno has given his verdict on Callum Hudson-Odoi.

So, what has Nuno said about Nottingham Forest winger Callum Hudson-Odoi? Let’s take a look.

Nuno praises Nottingham Forest winger Callum Hudson-Odoi

Well, Nottingham Forest head coach Nuno has been speaking about Callum Hudson-Odoi, and the former Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur manager has been hugely impressed.

Nuno has noted that Hudson-Odoi is playing well at the moment and is improving as a footballer.

The Forest boss has said that the winger has talent and expects great things from the 23-year-old English winger.

Hudson-Odoi joined Forest from Premier League rivals Chelsea in the summer of 2023. According to TNT Sports, the Reds paid £5 million in transfer fees for the winger.

The youngster has made eight starts and seven substitute appearances in the Premier League so far this season. Hudson-Odoi has scored three goals and given one assist in those games for Forest, who will take on West Ham United in the Premier League this weekend.

Nuno told BBC Sport about Hudson-Odoi: “He has been playing and that’s a big thing for a player. When you have the chance to play, you improve. 

“He’s combining well with his team-mates but we still expect a lot of good things because the talent is there.”

My View: Callum Hudson-Odoi will flourish at Nottingham Forest

In my opinion, Nottingham Forest winger Callum Hudson-Odoi will star for the team in the future. I think that the former Chelsea player will flourish under head coach Nuno.

Hudson-Odoi has not always had the best of times for Forest this season, but under Nuno, he is starting to show what he is capable of.

The winger is scoring goals and is affecting games. His confidence must be very high.

In my opinion, if Forest are to avoid the dreaded drop to the Championship at the end of the season, then Hudson-Odoi will have to play his role.
