Hudson-Odoi in the fast lane. The 22-year-old Englishman becomes Lazio’s first target to reinforce his role as a winger. Once Berardi’s dream vanished, the attentions of Lotito’s club had turned to Jepser Karlsson of Az Alkmaar. But in Sarri’s preferences, the prices of Callum Hudson-Odoi have recently risen, who has just returned to Chelsea after the season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen.

the past

The coach knows the winger well for having launched it in the 2018-19 season in which he was at the helm of the London club. With Sarri on the bench, Hudson-Odoi totaled 29 appearances and 6 goals (4 in the run that led to the conquest of the Europa League). Born as a left winger, a role he has carried on in recent seasons, the London winger was also proposed with Sarri on the right wing. Lazio’s interest is now linked precisely to its eclecticism on the attack lanes: the Commander wants one more option, also in terms of quality for the various Felipe Anderson, Zaccagni and Pedro, in consideration of a season that will see Lazio also involved in the Champions League.

negotiation

At 22, Hudson-Odoi is looking for a revival after a year with many shadows at Bayern Leverkusen (21 appearances with 1,074 minutes on the pitch and only one goal scored). Returning to work with Sarri could give him the best chance to restart his career. He has a quotation of around 10 million euros. Lazio aims to obtain him on loan with the right of redemption: a hypothesis that appears feasible from the first results of the negotiation. Indeed, in these hours we are trying to speed up the time to get Hudson-Odoi in the biancoceleste as soon as possible. A reinforcement that intrigues Sarri for the extra solutions to add, also on a tactical level, to the Lazio attack.
