Besiktas Target Callum Hudson-Odoi in Ambitious Summer Swoop

Besiktas JK are plotting a bold summer move for Nottingham Forest winger Callum Hudson-Odoi as they look to bolster their squad ahead of the 2025/26 season.

The Turkish Süper Lig giants have identified the England international, who is of Ghanaian descent, as a key addition to their attacking ranks. According to sources, initial contact has already been made with Hudson-Odoi, though the 24-year-old is yet to respond to their approach.

Hudson-Odoi, who made the switch from Chelsea to Forest in 2023, still has two years left on his current deal. While he is reportedly content at the City Ground and open to continuing his Premier League journey, Nottingham Forest are believed to be open to offers — especially if it helps fund their chase for Strasbourg attacker Dilane Bakwa. The Midlands club recently tabled a second bid worth around €31 million for the former Bordeaux star, with no response yet from the French side.

For Besiktas, Hudson-Odoi’s blend of pace, flair, and top-level experience makes him an ideal fit as they prepare for both domestic battles and European competition next season.
