Callum Hudson-Odoi has completed a £5 million move from Chelsea to Nottingham Forest.
The winger has committed his future to Forest until the summer of 2026, after signing a three-year deal at the City Ground.
He told the club website: "It’s massive for me to be here and I can’t wait to get started. It’s a new chapter for me.
“I know a couple of the boys already which was a big thing for me, and I obviously know the manager well, so it’s nice to be here and see familiar faces around.
“Forest is a big club which won two massive trophies in its history and I’m really excited to play at The City Ground. I know all about the atmosphere having watched a couple of times and I can’t wait to get playing in front of the Forest fans.”
Forest's chief football officer, Ross Wilson added: "We all know the potential that Callum has shown. He was enthused to work with Steve again, given the relationship they formed with the National Team.
"We are pleased to welcome Callum to Nottingham today."
The 22-year-old leaves Stamford Bridge after winning the Champions League, Europa League, Club World Cup, Super Cup and FA Cup.
He spent last season on loan at Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen, where he made 21 appearances across all competitions.
But he now leaves Chelsea on a permanent deal after featuring 126 times for the Blues, scoring 16 goals and registering 22 assists.
The winger will now reunite with Steve Cooper after the duo won the FIFA World Cup with the England under-17 squad in 2017.
He also has three England caps to his name and made his senior debut against the Czech Republic in March 2019.
Hudson-Odoi will wear the No. 14 shirt for Forest.
