Scout report

Top-tier performerCentral midfielder

C. Hudson-Odoi is a 25-year-old central midfielder at Nottingham Forest, rated 82.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 87th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (64.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.17 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hudson-Odoi.

Judged on this season alone, Hudson-Odoi graded 38 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 15th of 35 of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 3 goals, 4 assists and 1.168 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 29 → 38). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 83, top 32% of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 25 Hudson-Odoi is in his prime years, and a market index of 99.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Hudson-Odoi missed 6 games through injury (injury, thigh) out of roughly 38 this season. The 30 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

1.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 64.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.1/100).

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.17 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 82.6, Hudson-Odoi carries the 11th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League (top 32%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
