Omari Hutchinson is poised to complete a permanent transfer from Chelsea to Ipswich Town following an impressive loan spell with the club last season. The 20-year-old, who showed promise in Arsenal's youth ranks but struggled to break into their senior team, moved to Chelsea in 2022 in pursuit of first-team opportunities.
Despite his efforts, Hutchinson found limited chances at Chelsea and was loaned out to Ipswich Town in the Championship. His loan spell proved fruitful, contributing 10 goals in 44 league appearances and aiding Ipswich Town in their promotion to the Premier League.
Due to Chelsea's surplus of attacking options of players like Raheem Sterling, Cole Palmer, Nicholas Jackson, Mudryk, and Nkunku to mention a few, Hutchinson is now departing the club for a permanent move to Ipswich Town. The transfer is expected to yield up to £22.5 million for Chelsea, with Arsenal reportedly set to benefit from a sell-on clause negotiated when Hutchinson left their ranks two years ago.
The 20-year-old star will be seen competing with his former Premier league clubs, Arsenal and Chelsea in the 2024/2025 season.
