Ipswich Town’s Omari Hutchinson called up to England U21s
Omari Hutchinson has been called up to the England Under-21 squad for their upcoming European Championship qualifiers.
Hutchinson, 20, is set to feature this month for interim manager Ben Futcher when England face Ukraine on October 11 and Azerbaijan four days later.
The former Chelsea winger joins Ipswich team-mate Liam Delap in Futcher's 24-man squad, which includes seven forwards in total.
Hutchinson played a vital role in helping Ipswich achieve promotion to the Premier League last season, having spent last season on loan at Portland Road from Chelsea.
He scored 10 goals and assisted six times in 44 Championship appearances as Ipswich finished second, gaining automatic promotion to the English top-flight.
Hutchinson joined Ipswich permanently in the summer from Stamford Bridge after the two clubs agreed a deal of £20million plus £2.5m in add-ons and a 20 per cent sell-on. He signed a five-year deal.
