Spurs transfer news: Nottingham Forest star back on radar ahead of January window?

The East Midlands outfit have emerged as one of the surprise packages across Europe during the opening two-and-a-half months of the season.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side currently sit in third position in the Premier League table, helped by conceding just seven goals in 10 matches.

Chris Wood's performances have also proven decisive, the New Zealand international chipping in with eight of Forest's 14 strikes in the top flight.

As a result, Forest officials are allegedly eager to tie down the veteran forward to an extended contract ahead of the market reopening at the turn of the year.

Nevertheless, it appears that one of his fellow attacking contingent is being targeted by Spurs for a return to London.

Hudson-Odoi on Spurs radar

According to former scout Mick Brown, who was talking to Football Insider, Spurs have retained an interest in signing the former Chelsea youngster as soon as possible.

Speaking to the outlet, Brown said: "His performances have caught the eye of a few clubs. Tottenham were interested in him during the summer and I'm told that interest hasn't faded as they would still like to sign a new winger.

"Of course, when a side like Forest, with all due respect, are performing above their usual level, the high-flying players start to attract interest.

"I wouldn't expect a deal to happen in January, he'll need to show this type of form over the course of a season, but there's definite interest."

How may Forest react?

After their near-miss with regards to another points deduction for breaching Profit and Sustainability regulations with the Premier League in the summer, Forest cannot afford to take a hard-nosed approach in the market.

Furthermore, they only committed to paying a maximum of £5m for Hudson-Odoi when signing him from Chelsea in September 2023.

That has left them with the opportunity to make a substantial profit on a player that has contributed 10 goals and two assists from his 45 appearances in all competitions.

The 23-year-old is also only tied to the City Ground until 2026, something else that must be taken into consideration should those terms not be extended.
