British-Ghanaian winger, Callum Hudson-Odoi has explained why he insisted on completing his transfer deadline day move to Nottingham Forest from Chelsea.
Africa Today News, New York reports that the England forward signed a three-year deal with Steve Cooper’s side.
The talented winger explained that he left Stamford Bridge, after being told he was not in manager Mauricio Pochettino’s plans.
Nottingham Forest have spent around £8million to sign the 22-year-old.
“It’s a new chapter for me,” he told Nottingham Forest’s official website.

‘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 and see familiar faces around.
‘Forest is a big club which won two massive trophies in its history.’
Meanwhile, Africa Today News, New York reports that aiming to win three competitive matches on the bounce for the first time since March, Chelsea welcome Nottingham Forest to Stamford Bridge for Saturday afternoon’s Premier League battle.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side scraped a 2-1 EFL Cup second-round win over AFC Wimbledon last time out, while the Tricky Trees were eliminated by Burnley at the same stage.
A plethora of changes were inevitable when Chelsea hosted League Two battlers Wimbledon in their EFL Cup opener – entering at the second round due to the absence of European football – but despite the array of young talent on the field, the Blues were stunned by an early James Tilley penalty.
However, Noni Madueke’s own spot kick on the stroke of half time restored parity for Chelsea, who were forced to send on some of the big guns in the second half, but Pochettino’s troops eventually got the job done thanks to an Enzo Fernandez winner.
