Chelsea starlet Omari Hutchinson is on the verge of breaking a long-standing transfer record at Ipswich Town, held by Nigerian legend Finidi George. The 20-year-old winger is set to join the Tractor Boys in a £20 million deal, subject to a medical, according to All Nigeria Soccer.
Hutchinson spent last season on loan at Ipswich, impressing with his pace and skill, scoring 11 goals and providing 6 assists in 50 matches. His performances have convinced Ipswich to make a permanent move for the talented youngster.
If the deal goes through, Hutchinson will become the most expensive player in Ipswich Town's history, breaking a record that has stood for almost 23 years. Finidi George, a former Super Eagles coach and Ajax Amsterdam winger, joined Ipswich in 2001 for £3.1 million.
Hutchinson's signing would be a significant coup for Ipswich, who are looking to strengthen their squad after promotion to the Premier League. The Chelsea starlet's potential and talent make him an exciting addition to the team, and fans will be eager to see him in action.
This transfer would not only be a milestone for Ipswich Town but also a testament to Hutchinson's dedication and hard work. His ability to make an impact in the top flight has been evident, and his signing would be a statement of intent from the club.
With Hutchinson on board, Ipswich Town would be bolstering their attack with a player capable of making a significant impact in the Premier League. His pace, skill, and creativity would be a welcome addition to the team, and fans can expect exciting times ahead.
