Ipswich is set to sign Chelsea winger Omari Hutchinson in a club-record deal, pending a medical.
The 20-year-old is expected to complete a move for an initial £20 million, with an additional £2.5 million potentially due based on performance-related add-ons.
Hutchinson became the club’s primary transfer target following his outstanding performances on loan in the Championship last season, where he contributed 10 goals and six assists.
Kieran McKenna’s Tractor Boys achieved an unexpected automatic promotion by finishing second.
The deal is anticipated to be finalized this week and will assist Chelsea in further balancing their books to comply with Premier League profit and sustainability regulations.
The Jamaica international, who played for England up to the under-19 level, has made two appearances for Chelsea since joining from Arsenal in 2022.
