The Saudi clubs are going on a sweep up of top talents from around Europe as they look to build their league and make it a huge profile.
We have seen numerous players linked with joining Saudi clubs over the last couple of weeks, many of whom are Chelsea players. It’s great news for Chelsea of course, because they need player sales and room in the squad, and there aren’t many clubs out there who can afford the wages that some of these players are on.
Sources: Kai Havertz actively pushing to move to Arsenal!
But perhaps a surprise name that has now been linked with Saudi clubs is Chelsea’s 22-year-old winger, Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Most players linked are ones who are often towards the end of their careers, not young players who are nowhere near their peak yet. But here we are, as Fabrizio Romano reports below, they have approached Chelsea to sign Hudson-Odoi.
As he adds, it’s unclear what the player’s side think on this or what they would do.

Talks have not started yet on the player side — not clear yet whether CHO would accept Saudi move or not. pic.twitter.com/1IxycgwiWh
