    Cheeky football fans have told Todd Boehly to bid £80million for ex-Chelsea star Callum Hudson-Odoi following his wondergoal against Burnley.

    Nottingham Forest were chasing the game at the City Ground as Steve Copper's side started to crank up the pressure against the Clarets – leading to a ball being lumped in the direction of Taiwo Awoniyi.

    Awoniyi chested the ball down to Hudson-Odoi, who skipped past one defender and let fly with a wonder strike that dipped into the far corner of the goal.

    "Chelsea should really look into signing this Hudson-Odoi fella," one fan joked. While a second shared on social media: "Chelsea are gonna buy back Hudson-Odoi for £80m after that goal!"

    "Paying £88.5m for Mudryk and only getting £3m for Hudson-Odoi, who's still only 22? Todd Boehly is a criminal," a third said. And another added: "Chelsea could do with Hudson-Odoi!"

    Under Boehly, Chelsea have been free-spending – and the Blues have seen an influx of talent arrive at Stamford Bridge over the past 14 months.

    As a result, Chelsea have had to offload players to balance the books, including Hudson-Odoi, who had been at the club since he was seven-years-old.

    Forest acquired the services of the winger for just £3million, and he has proved to shrew investment with an instant impact on his debut against Vincent Kompany's side.

    After leaving the Blues, Chelsea said: "We thank Callum for his long service for the club and the good times we enjoyed together. We wish him well for the future."
