Ipswich Town have announced the club have signed Omari Hutchinson from Chelsea.

The 20-year-old spent last season on loan at Portman Road and helped the Blues achieve promotion to the Premier League for the first time in more than 20-years, with 10 Championship goals.

The attacker has joined on a permanent basis for a record fee.

Manager Kieran McKenna told the club's website: "Omari is someone we all enjoyed working with last season and the staff, his teammates and supporters all saw how he grew and developed over the course of the year, which is testament to the hard work he put in.

“The impact he had on the team throughout the season, especially in the latter part, was evidence of that and he, like so many of his teammates, played a significant part in that success for the Club.

“We think Omari is a fantastic player and person to have at the Club for the long-term future. He has a hunger to improve and show that he can compete and thrive in the Premier League.”
