The former England youth player has signed a three-year contract with Forest, becoming Steve Cooper's tenth major addition of the summer transfer window.

The Ghanaian winger scored once in the UEFA Champions League and delivered one assist in the Bundesliga during the time.

Forest boss Cooper played a key role in luring the player to reunite with him as he was his England U17 coach.

Hudson-Odoi was part of the England U17 World Cup squad that Cooper coached to glory in 2017.
