Overview

• Ipswich Town rebuffed Nottingham Forest’s £35 million offer for Omari Hutchinson, matching a previous approach from Brentford.
• The club has revised its asking price to approximately £40 million after Hutchinson’s relegation release clause expired in mid-July.
• Manager Kieran McKenna affirmed that Hutchinson remains committed to Ipswich’s season objectives despite reported interest from multiple clubs.
• The winger missed a pre-season friendly due to mental strain from transfer speculation and then sat out training for two days with a minor medical issue.
• His three goals and two assists in last season’s Premier League campaign, coupled with his role in England’s U21 European Championship triumph, have intensified his transfer appeal.
