Omari Hutchinson makes Chelsea transfer stance clear after Ipswich Premier League promotion

Chelsea loanee Omari Hutchinson has expressed his desire to return to Ipswich Town next season after aiding the club in ending their 22-year absence from the Premier League.

Hutchinson scored as Ipswich beat Huddersfield Town and secured back-to-back promotions on Saturday. The youngster added to Wes Burns' breakthrough at Portman Road, defeating the Terriers 2-0 and securing the Championship's second automatic promotion spot, reported the Express.

The Tractor Boys were considered the underdogs in an exciting three-way race for Premier League football, alongside Leicester City and Leeds United. Kieran McKenna had previously led the team to promotion from League One, while Leicester and Leeds were hoping for an immediate return to the top flight.

However, while the former clinched the top spot, Hutchinson played a crucial role in Ipswich securing a second-place finish, leaving Leeds to face the dreaded play-offs. The 20-year-old joined Ipswich on loan from Chelsea last summer for regular football, having made his first two senior appearances in the 2022/23 season.

Starting the season as a substitute, Hutchinson quickly established himself as a regular starter. He recorded 11 goals and six assists in 50 appearances throughout the campaign, leading to suggestions that Mauricio Pochettino could utilise him at Stamford Bridge next term.

Despite partying hard after Ipswich Town's promotion, the club's Jamaica ace confirmed he is eager to stick with the club for their triumphant return to the Premier League. In response to questions about his future plans with Ipswich, he mentioned: «I hope so. I don't know.»
