Ipswich Town’s manager Kieran McKenna has a clear wish for his upcoming birthday – the return of Omari Hutchinson to the Tractor Boys’ squad. Hutchinson’s loan spell from Chelsea was crucial in helping Ipswich secure promotion to the Premier League, and McKenna eagerly expressed his desire for the young talent to don the Town shirt once again next season as a birthday gift.
Although Hutchinson initially faced challenges breaking into the starting lineup, he eventually became a key player for Ipswich, playing a pivotal role in their promotion campaign and earning the title of Young Player of the Year. McKenna’s playful request for Hutchinson’s return at the End of Season Dinner may have been light-hearted, but his wish for the talented player to come back to Portman Road is sincere.
With Hutchinson’s contract at Chelsea set to expire soon, the Blues are reportedly considering offering him a new deal. However, interest from other clubs, including Premier League teams, indicates the widespread recognition of Hutchinson’s abilities. Despite the competition for his signature, Hutchinson appears keen on a return to Ipswich, where McKenna is eager to welcome him back into the fold with open arms. The sentimental value and success experienced during his loan spell with Ipswich make a potential reunion all the more special.
