The club have been looking for wide reinforcements, having sold Anthony Elanga to Newcastle for a club-record deal of an initial \u00a355m, external<\/a>, and have already signed Dan Ndoye from Bologna. <\/p>\n

Brentford also had a \u00a335m bid turned down last month<\/a> for Hutchinson, despite the offer meeting his relegation release clause. <\/p>\n

Since the offer was not cash up front, though, it was rejected and the clause expired. <\/p>\n

The Bees did come back to the table after selling Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United, but were unable to agree a deal with Ipswich, leaving Forest in pole position to bring him to the City Ground. <\/p>\n

Hutchinson – who scored in England Under-21’s extra-time final victory against Germany in June after being set up by McAtee<\/a> – joined Town from Chelsea for \u00a320m last summer after spending 2023-24 on loan at Portman Road, helping Ipswich into the Premier League.<\/p>\n

He scored three goals in 31 league games last season but was unable to stop Kieran McKenna’s side dropping back into the Championship.<\/p>\n

Ipswich, who drew their opening Championship game 1-1 at Birmingham, also sold striker Liam Delap to Chelsea in a \u00a330m deal after he scored 12 goals last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The club have been looking for wide reinforcements, having sold Anthony Elanga to Newcastle for a club-record deal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":68660,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-68659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68659"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68659\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68660"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
