'Several European clubs' are monitoring the progress of Ipswich Town loanee Omari Hutchinson, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

The 20-year-old is spending the campaign on loan at Portman Road, where he's mainly been used off the bench, starting just nine games in the Championship. However, his impact has been impressive, bagging five goals and four assists for the Blues across 32 total appearances in his first full season of senior football.

The versatile attacker has really hit form in February, bagging either a goal or an assist in each of his last five games, including stoppage-time strikes against West Brom, Rotherham United and West Brom.

Some fans have questioned whether Town may be able to keep hold of him beyond this season, but Romano has revealed that foreign clubs are keen to take him on once his stint in Suffolk comes to an end, adding that parent club Chelsea are 'in control of the situation'.

It remains to be seen what Hutchinson's future will look like, with Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino reportedly under pressure following Sunday's Carabao Cup defeat to Liverpool.

The Premier League giants have been among the biggest spenders in Europe following Todd Boehly's takeover at the club in 2022, which can make it difficult for young players to break into the first-team squad - many of whom are currently out on loan like Hutchinson.

The Jamaican international has made a senior appearance for them, however, coming off the bench in a 1-0 home defeat to Manchester City back in January 2023.
