Callum Hudson-Odoi is the latest Chelsea player to have received an approach from The Saudi Pro League.
Hudson-Odoi has returned to Chelsea after a difficult loan spell at Bayer Leverkusen that saw the winger make just seven starts in the Bundesliga.

The 22-year-old is expected to move on this summer and has now been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that Hudson-Odoi has been approached by two unnamed clubs as Saudi Pro League sides continue to invest huge sums to attract overseas talent.
Discussions have not taken place between Hudson-Odoi and the Saudi sides and it remains unclear whether the three-cap England international would consider a move to the Middle East.

The winger has struggled to build on an exciting emergence from Chelsea’s academy ranks, struggling for fitness and favour since winning the club’s Young Player of the Year accolade and earning England recognition in 2019.
Hudson-Odoi is the latest Chelsea player to have received an approach from Saudi Arabia, after N’Golo Kante agreed a deal to sign for champions Al-Ittihad.
Hakim Ziyech, Edouard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly are in talks over moves to the division, while Romelu Lukaku and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have also received proposals.
