Omari Hutchinson had a standout season while on loan at Ipswich Town last year, playing a crucial role in their return to the Premier League after a lengthy absence. Now, it appears that Hutchinson will continue to play a pivotal role in Ipswich’s bid to remain in the top flight, as reports indicate a potential £22m deal between the two clubs, with Chelsea also securing a sell-on clause.
Despite seemingly saying goodbye to Ipswich at the end of the previous season, Hutchinson’s future has been reimagined following head coach Kieran McKenna’s decision to cut ties with Chelsea (and Manchester United) and commit to a new deal with Ipswich. This shift in ambition has reshaped the narrative surrounding Hutchinson’s future.
The proposed £22m transfer fee, alongside the potential sell-on clause, would represent a significant return for Hutchinson, who only recently joined Ipswich from Arsenal’s academy. With competition fierce at his position, it makes logical sense for Hutchinson to make a permanent move to Ipswich, solidifying his place in the team for the foreseeable future.
