177 PL matches: Ipswich could sign dream Hutchinson alternative in “unique” £21m star

This summer, Ipswich Town may attempt to persuade this exceptional treasure to join the Portman Road ranks.

all doubts over the Ipswich Town manager’s future at Portman Road have been completely dispelled.

This means that instead of focusing on possible managerial candidates to replace the former Manchester United star,

the rumor mill will instead be spinning over potential signings to help Ipswich in their inaugural Premier League campaign.

Ipswich looking at “unique” Hutchinson alternative

The Tractor Boys are reportedly planning to pursue a permanent deal for their former outstanding loanee Omari Hutchinson,

who scored 11 goals in all competitions during Ipswich’s incredible promotion campaign.

However, if a move for the Chelsea young player is unsuccessful, they may be inclined to pursue signing this attacker instead.

Ipswich was reportedly planning a raid for Newcastle United star Miguel Almiron at the end of last month,

according to a TEAMTalk report. A sum of about £21 million would be required to attempt to complete this ambitious deal.

It’s not surprising to see Almiron’s name among those rumored to be off,

as Eddie Howe’s team is looking to offload several players this off-season in order to shed some of

the more seasoned professionals in the squad.

The Paraguayan midfielder has made an impressive 209 appearances for the Toon since joining with much fanfare in 2019.

The former club record purchase, however, did not light up the Premier League this season for the Magpies.

Hutchinson’s FBRef figures show that he has struggled in some areas over the past year,

and the former Atalanta United man has only scored three goals in the league overall.

All the same, Almiron might end up being a fantastic Hutchinson substitute for Ipswich given his abundance of elite-level experience.

Even though he had a lackluster season overall,

Howe recognized his ability in the division and called him “unique” after he scored

the stunning goal below in a brilliant performance against Burnley.

Despite his impressive performance as a loan player for McKenna’s overachievers last season,

The other players on the Ipswich team are also inexperienced with what it takes to make the jump,

having fought their way through much of their careers to play in the EFL.

Twenty-seven of Almiron’s twenty-nine Newcastle appearances have been in the premier league,

where the South American midfielder has scored 23 of his thirty goals for the Magpies.

he scored 11 goals in the Premier League.

That was comparable to the numbers Hutchinson had in the league below until the devious five-foot-nine

Toon attacker struggled this season, managing just three goals.

In any case, Hutchinson is another potential arrival to significantly strengthen their team

before they venture into the great unknown, so Ipswich wouldn’t turn their eyes up at

the South American coming through the door this summer to offer more nous and experience.
