Ipswich Town and Stuttgart are interested in signing Chelsea forward Omari Hutchinson.

The 20-year-old is being targeted after an excellent season on loan in the Championship, scoring 10 goals and getting six assists in 44 matches as Ipswich gained promotion in his first full season as a senior footballer.

The Tractor Boys are interested in signing Hutchinson on either a loan or permanent deal as they also look at extending manager Kieran McKenna's contract.

Hutchinson was also a guest at Stuttgart鈥檚 final home game against Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday. The German club have secured qualification for next season's Champions League.

Dutch giants Ajax and Feyenoord are also reportedly interested in a loan move.

Chelsea have exercised an option to extend Hutchinson's contract at Stamford Bridge to 2026.

It gives them leverage in deciding how to handle the youngster's future, as they seek to appoint Leicester City's Enzo Maresca as their new boss.

Blues officials will soon sit down with Maresca to decide whether to keep, loan or sell Hutchinson, who was signed from Arsenal in 2022.
