NOTTINGHAM, UK – Nottingham Forest are reportedly set to complete a significant transfer, having agreed a deal with Ipswich Town for the signing of winger Omari Hutchinson.
The transfer, valued at a reported £37 million, is set to be a new club record for Forest as they continue their aggressive summer recruitment drive.
Hutchinson is already on his way to undergo a medical and finalize personal terms, which have already been agreed upon.
The move follows a breakout season for the 21-year-old at Ipswich, where he was a standout performer despite the club’s relegation.
This transfer is part of a busy period for Nottingham Forest, who are also reported to have completed a deal for Manchester City’s James McAtee and are close to securing Rennes striker Arnaud Kalimuendo.
These signings signal a clear intent from the club to build a strong squad ahead of a season that includes Europa League football.
The deal for Hutchinson is also of interest to Chelsea, who are expected to receive a 25% sell-on clause from the transfer, highlighting the value of their youth development program.
As the new Premier League season begins, Nottingham Forest’s proactive approach in the transfer market is making them a team to watch.
