REALLY SAD: The exceptional player for Ipswich Town lost his life in a plane disaster while flying to the FIFA World Cup to represent his home country.

Ipswich Town fans will be growing with excitement about the Premier League season ahead, especially with the transfer window officially opening in a matter of days, with plenty of business in through the door at Portman Road potentially on the horizon.

Linked with a swoop for Lewis O’Brien recently, after realising Ben Sheaf might be too expensive to get in, Ipswich could now set their sights elsewhere involving another target, as talk surrounding Omari Hutchinson returning to Suffolk lessens by the day.

If Kieran McKenna’s Tractor Boys do end up being ultimately unsuccessful in attempting to get the Chelsea winger back, they could try for another reunion with a different loan star, who would certainly make supporters forget about Hutchinson staying put at Stamford Bridge in the process.

Ipswich eyeing transfer reunion for 30-year-old gem

According to a report from the Daily Mail, the newly promoted outfit are interested in bringing Tom Lawrence back to Portman Road this summer, after the 30-year-old enjoyed a fruitful loan stint there earlier in his playing days.

The former Manchester United academy product won’t be short of offers, with the current Rangers forward also being eyed up by Sheffield United and even Besiktas out in Turkey, who have the forward’s ex-Gers boss Giovanni Van Bronckhorst now at the helm.

Ipswich would, no doubt, be his preferred destination in an attempt to roll back the years, whilst also offering the skilful winger a chance to strut his stuff in the Premier League, before he stares retirement in the face down the line.

The Welshman could also end up being a dream Hutchinson alternative to officially nip that ongoing transfer story in the bud, having dazzled at various different EFL clubs as an experienced and entertaining attacker to watch, as opposed to Hutchinson enjoying just a short but sweet stint at Portman Road.
