Following their decision to abandon the pursuit of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, West Ham is set to explore other areas of their squad and has emerged as a potential suitor for Ipswich star Omari Hutchinson. According to Mick Brown, a former senior scout for West Ham, the Hammers have expressed interest in signing Hutchinson and have had scouts tracking his performances for England Under-21s.
Replacement for Mohammed Kudus
With the potential departure of Mohammed Kudus looming, West Ham views Hutchinson as an “ideal” replacement. The club is preparing to lose one of its key players, and signing Hutchinson would be a strategic move to bolster their squad.
Hutchinson’s Release Clause
Hutchinson’s £35 million release clause in his Ipswich contract has been previously reported by Football Insider. The clause could potentially make him a more accessible target for West Ham, depending on the club’s willingness to meet the required fee.
Transfer Speculation
The interest in Hutchinson highlights West Ham’s proactive approach to the transfer market. As the window progresses, the club’s pursuit of Hutchinson will be closely monitored, and it remains to be seen whether they can secure his services before the deadline.
