Nothing is decided on Omari Hutchinson's future yet after the Chelsea loanee helped Ipswich Town gain promotion to the Premier League.
The 20-year-old winger featured 44 times for the Tractor Boys in the Championship, where he scored 10 goals and assisted six as the East Anglian side finished second to achieve automatic promotion. Hutchinson, on loan from Chelsea, played a key role for Ipswich in their third from last game of the season – a 3-3 draw at Hull City.
The Jamaica international scored two beautiful goals from outside the area to really showcase his talent. With Ipswich being promoted to the top-flight, for the first time in 22 years, there have already been rumours on whether Hutchinson will return to Portman Road on loan against next season.
However, no decision has been made yet, football.london understands. Hutchinson is set to return to Chelsea in the summer and take part in pre-season with the Blues and then he and the club will decide his future ahead of next term.
Chelsea rate Hutchinson very highly and that was shown last season when Graham Potter gave him an opportunity in the first-team last January. Hutchinson came on in the defeat to Manchester City in the Premier League, just three days before he did the same in the FA Cup defeat at the Etihad Stadium.
After such a strong season at Ipswich, though, Hutchinson will not be short of suitors in the summer. Hutchinson's entourage remain confident Chelsea will open talks with the winger over extending his current contract at Stamford Bridge, football.london understands, which is due to expire in just over 12 months' time.
