Johnson adds that other Premier League clubs and teams across Europe are also interested in Hutchinson.

Football.London previously reported that Ipswich were readying a PS20m bid for the player, with VfB Stuttgart, Ajax, and Feyenoord also tracking his situation.

Back in 2022, when the Gunners sold Hutchinson to Chelsea, The Athletic reported that they'd only brought in a relatively modest fee.

However, the deal included a sell-on clause, so Arsenal will take a cut of whatever Chelsea earn for Hutchinson's sale. The exact value of the clause is unknown.

Hutchinson has made two appearances for Chelsea since his 2022 transfer, but he hasn't featured in a squad for them since his last appearance on the pitch in January 2023.

This season, he played 50 times for Ipswich Town in the Championship, scoring 11 goals and providing six assists.

With Ipswich now in the Premier League, they're looking to make a couple of big moves in the market to ensure they don't drop straight back down.
