Newsypeople- Ipswich Town has made a significant signing by securing Chelsea winger Omari Hutchinson in a club-record deal. The transfer is reportedly worth up to £22.5 million, making it a major coup for Ipswich.

The 20-year-old Jamaican international, who previously represented England at the youth level, is expected to finalize his move to Portman Road pending a successful medical examination.
