Ipswich Town have been busy in the transfer market this summer as they prepare to launch a bid to win the Championship title.

While this has seen them bring in several new faces, the latest set to be Ivan Azon from Como, they have also lost several key players, including Liam Delap to Chelsea and Nathan Broadhead to Wrexham.

The future of Omari Hutchinson is to be away from the club, following comments made by former Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy, with the winger moving to Nottingham Forest.

Now another player who knows Omari Hutchinson has weighed in on the future of the winger.

Jacob Greaves gives his view on Omari Hutchinson

Speaking ahead of Ipswich’s game with Southampton in the Championship, Jacob Greaves was asked about what he knew about the ongoing situation with Hutchinson during a press conference, as reported in the East Anglian Daily Times.

He said: “I have no idea, to be honest. I think it’s a little bit above my head in terms of the people above me having those discussions.

“I’m not sure what’s going on. I see Omari every day, and he’s the same person, training well and taking care of himself in that way.

“I’m not too sure about the outside noise. As a group, I think we’ve got to quiet that out and focus on what we do on the training pitch with the lads that we have. Omari’s been training well.

“I think it’s a little bit above my head, but I obviously hope he can stay.”

Greaves on the quality Chuba Akpom brings to Ipswich

While it looks like Ipswich may lose some attacking quality in Hutchinson, and with it confirmed that Broadhead had left the club this week, Ipswich have brought in Chuba Akpom to replace the lost goals.

The defender is pleased to have signed such a striker to help them in their ambitions of reaching the Premier League once again.

He said: “You see the quality he offers.

“Even in the first training session. I know from playing against him; he won the Golden Boot in the Championship, so we have two Golden Boot winners now. There’s no excuse for not scoring goals in this league.

“An unbelievable talent, and we’ve probably got him coming into the peak of his career. Hopefully he can carry on that form that he had with Middlesbrough with us.”
