Ipswich’s Omari Hutchinson reacts to Callum Hudson-Odoi amid Everton links
Ipswich Town forward Omari Hutchinson is the subject of interest this summer and he has fuelled more speculation by reacting to Nottingham Forest’s Callum Hudson-Odoi.
It was exclusively revealed by Football Insider that Everton, alongside Bundesliga club’s Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig are lining up a move for the 21-year-old.
Hutchinson was part of the Ipswich side that were relegated from the Premier League last season with a dire 22 point total.
The Tractor Boys are back in the Championship next season, but Hutchinson is unlikely to be apart of Kieran McKenna’s side aiming for an immediate return to the top flight.
Forest search for Elanga replacement
Forest are one club in need of a winger this summer following the departure of star player Anthony Elanga to Newcastle United.
Nuno Espirito Santo has eyed up PSV’s Johan Bakayoko as a replacement, who was once a target for the Toon should they have failed in their Elanga pursuit.
Hutchinson though may be open to a move to the City Ground, and he has liked Hudson-Odoi’s latest post.
Hudson-Odoi took to Instagram to share pictures from the club’s pre-season friendly with Chesterfield, which was liked by Hutchinson.
Everton should swoop for talented Hutchinson
Football Insider Verdict
In a tough campaign for Ipswich, Hutchinson stood out as one of their most valuable assets.
The forward has the technical capabilities shown from his time in the youth system’s at Arsenal and Chelsea.
His loan spell from the Blues to Ipswich in 2023 saw him flourish in the Championship, convincing McKenna to spend £20m to bring him permanently to Portman Road.

| Goals | 14 |
| Assists | 8 |
Still with plenty of potential, Hutchinson looks to have the option to move to Germany or stay in the Premier League.
Everton are the interested club and a move to Merseyside feels like a perfect fit.
The Toffees have signed striker Thierno Barry, but the 22-year-old requires service and David Moyes needs to sign creative players.
Hutchinson would provide that creativity, pace, be a signing for the future and regular game time would be guaranteed due to their current lack of wide options.
Moving to the Hill Dickinson Stadium should provide a fresh start for Everton and with Barry, Ndiaye and Hutchinson they could have a young talented front three to excite the supporters.
