  • Chelsea beat the Toffees 1-0 in a scruffy game thanks to a penalty by Jorginho
  • Hudson-Odoi’s snub has reignited the feeling that he could leave the club before the close of the transfer window

Callum Hudson-Odoi was reportedly left stunned that he was not selected by Thomas Tuchel to feature in Chelsea’s opening Premier League game against Everton on Saturday, August 6.

The 21-year-old winger is a target for German giants Borussia Dortmund, and the Guardian now reports that a transfer is highly likely before the window closes.

Southampton is another club that approached Chelsea about a possible loan deal for Odoi, but the attacker is keen on playing at a “high level” , and would prefer a move to Dorrtmund instead.

The snub on Premier League opening day has reportedly left Odoi weighing his options, and he would be open to leaving Stamford Bridge.

With the arrival of Raheem Sterling, Chelsea is prepared to let a number of big names leave this summer, including Timo Werner, who is poised to return to RB Leipzig on a permanent deal.

Who else could leave?

Marcos Alonso is also on the verge of an exit, with Barcelona his most likely destination, while Malang Sarr has been given the green light to have a medical at Monaco ahead of a loan move.

Despite the fairly busy transfer window that has seen Chelsea sign the likes of Kalidou Koulibaly, Carney Chuwuemeka, Raheem Sterling and Marc Cucurella, the Blues are still not done and are keen on more signings.

Notably, rumors have it that Tuchel’s side is willing to break their bank to acquire Wesley Fofana from Leicester City.

Werner arrives in Germany ahead of Leipzig return

Elsewhere, Chelsea and Leipzig have already agreed on a deal for Timo Werner with the German just needing to pass a medical before the move is finalised.

The medical has been scheduled for today, and Werner has already arrived in Germany ahead of the final step. Sky Sports shared a video on social media of the German international arriving in the country ahead of his proposed medical.

Werner left Leipzig for Chelsea in 2020 in a deal believed to be around € 56,22. He will now be moving back to Germany in a deal worth €20m.
