Ipswich are looking to sign Omari Hutchinson in £22m permanent deal from Chelsea

Ipswich are trying to close a £22million deal to sign Chelsea forward Omari Hutchinson.

The newly-promoted Premier League side have made the 20-year-old a top priority this summer.

And there is now growing hope that a deal to sign Hutchinson, who spent last season on loan with the Tractor Boys can be successfully concluded.

The young attacker played a key role under Kieran McKenna last season as they successfully secured their place back in the top-flight.

He made 50 appearances in total for Ipswich last season, scoring 11 goals.

And McKenna is now heading towards concluding a permanent transfer for the Chelsea youngster, who is open to moving.
