Nottingham Forest make transfer statement as huge deal agreed on eve of new Premier League season

Nottingham Forest have confirmed the signing of Omari Hutchinson from Ipswich Town, in a deal said to be worth £37.5m.

He has signed a five-year deal at the City Ground.

“I’m really excited to be here and can’t wait to get started,” he said.

“I’ve played at the City Ground a few times and it’s always felt like a hostile atmosphere, so I’m looking forward to playing here with the fans behind us.

“I’m going to give it my all and I’m looking forward to the challenge as it’s a new chapter for me, but I feel ready.”

Chief football officer, Ross Wilson, said: “Omari is a really exciting addition to the squad.

“He’s coming off a fantastic summer, winning the U21 European Championship alongside Elliot (Anderson), and arrives here full of confidence.

“He joins an already talented group of players and adds another layer of quality and energy to our attacking options.

“We’re looking forward to seeing him thrive in a Forest shirt.”
