Once a regular in the Chelsea lineup, he does not appear to be in Mauricio Pochettino&#8217;s plans for the club. A loan to Bayer Leverkusen provided some relief last year, but a permanent move suits all parties well.<\/p>\n<h3>Missing A Piece<\/h3>\n<p>All of Forest&#8217;s matches so far this season have been decided by one goal. Losses to Arsenal and Manchester United brought heartache when either a comeback fell short or an early lead was wasted. Likewise, a goal from former FC Basel player Zeki Amdouni saw them eliminated in the last minute of their EFL Cup tie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/08\/31\/nottingham-forest-nico-dominguez-deal-agreed\/\" target=\"_self\">\u2018Deal Agreed\u2019: Nottingham Forest Now Set to Make Yet Another Signing as Huge Triple Swoop Gets Closer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Steve Cooper&#8217;s only bright spot in this campaign has been Chris Wood&#8217;s 89th-minute winner against Sheffield United which gave City Ground goers a rare taste of victory. The Hudson-Odoi addition has been made in an effort to increase attacking output and find a finishing touch the squad has been lacking.<\/p>\n<h3>Chelsea Transfer One Out<\/h3>\n<p>The Blues have made waves this summer with the money they have spent on their incoming transfers.

There was a &#8220;medical booked&#8221; for the attacker which would move the transfer into its latter stages.
