Omari Hutchinson, an Ipswich Town loanee, stated that returning to Portman Road is one of his “options” for the summer.
The winger was snapped up by Ipswich Town on loan from Chelsea last summer.
Since then, Hutchinson, 20, has adjusted to life in the Championship with the Tractor Boys with ease.
In the upcoming transfer window, he hasn’t ruled out returning to Suffolk in any form and has stated, according to an East Anglian Daily Times report: “It’s going to be a difficult one, I don’t know the answer to that.” However, perhaps—I hope so.
“Listen, I’m not able to let you know where I’m playing. We’ll find out in the summer what’s the best course of action and what my own personal preference is. I’m in love right here. I’m happy I went.
He added: “Look, it will be one of my options, if everyone agrees with it. But I couldn’t give you the right answer now, you’ll just have to wait and see in the summer.”
Ipswich Town loan man shines
Hutchinson has been a useful player for Ipswich this season and has given them more competition and depth going forward.
Their chances of re-signing him are likely to depend on what league they are playing in next term.
Chelsea will want him to be playing at as high a level as possible and if Kieran McKenna’s side get promoted to the Premier League, another move would make more sense than dropping back into the second tier.
The Jamaica international, who has two caps under his belt, played for Charlton Athletic and Arsenal before moving to Stamford Bridge in 2022.
He has since played twice for the Blues’ first-team and was given the green light to head out the exit door on a temporary basis when Ipswich came calling in July last year.
Hutchinson has since made 40 appearances in all competitions for the Tractor Boys and has chipped in with six goals.
He scored twice over the weekend as they battered Sheffield Wednesday 6-0.
McKenna’s men are 3rd in the table and are a point behind both Leeds United and Leicester City with eight matches left to play.
They are back in action after the international break with an away trip to Ewood Park to lock horns with Blackburn Rovers.
