adminIpswich Town Continue Transfer Push as Omari Hutchinson Exit Nears
Ipswich Town remain active in the transfer market as they look to strengthen their squad before the window closes on September 1. Several arrivals are expected at Portman Road in the coming weeks, while a number of players are also poised to move on.
One incoming deal appears close to completion, with Cesc Fabregas confirming in a press conference that forward Iván Azón will join Ipswich on loan from Italian side Como in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Omari Hutchinson seems set to leave the club, with Nottingham Forest closing in on a deal after Brentford pursued the winger throughout the summer.
With transfer activity momentarily paused, the Tractor Boys are now turning their focus to this weekend’s Championship clash against Southampton. After drawing their season opener away at Birmingham City and suffering a surprise Carabao Cup defeat to Bromley, Ipswich are still searching for their first win of the campaign.
Sam Morsy Shares Honest Take on Hutchinson Transfer Drama
Former Ipswich captain Sam Morsy, now playing for Kuwait SC, weighed in on the Hutchinson transfer saga via social media. Despite having moved on, Morsy clearly retains a strong connection to the club he helped guide to back-to-back promotions.
Reflecting on the situation, Morsy highlighted the often harsh realities of football, writing:
“The ugly side of football. When a club no longer wants you—be it performance- or politics-based—they’ll do whatever it takes to move you on. Name off the locker, train with the U21s, completely discarded. Manager and staff no longer even recognising you.
So when players are close to securing a big move and feel their value is being met, they have a right to take a firm stance.
There’s no clear right or wrong here. Omari and the club have been great for each other. Without knowing every detail, it feels like this transition could have been handled better on both sides.
He was a key player in promotion, a great teammate, and has brought in solid profit. Hopefully, his contribution won’t be forgotten by the ITFC family.”
Kieran McKenna Explains Omari Hutchinson Omission
Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna addressed Hutchinson’s absence from the Carabao Cup squad following their loss to Bromley. Speaking to the East Anglian Daily Times, McKenna revealed the reasoning behind the decision:
“He’s expressed a desire to return to the Premier League if the chance is there. We’ve always shown a lot of care and empathy toward Omari — he’s still very young at 21, and it’s not an easy position for him.
Players are given advice from many directions these days, and there are different ways to handle these situations. We’ll do our best to guide him through it, and as long as he remains part of the club, we want him to contribute and help the team on the pitch.”
