Nottingham Forest have submitted a £35m bid to sign Ipswich Town winger Omari Hutchinson, according to The Athletic's David Ornstein.
Hutchinson, described as 'the Premier League's most wanted man' by scout the Daily Mail, recently suffered relegation to the Championship from the Premier League with Ipswich. The former Chelsea forward might be hoping for a move back to England's top flight, but with just a few days remaining before the Championship season begins, he remains at Portman Road.
Forest are in the market for new additions in attack after Anthony Elanga was sold to Newcastle United. Dan Ndoye has arrived through the door so far, but Nuno Espirito Santo's side are clearly looking to bring in further reinforcements in the final third heading into the 2025/2026 campaign.
