NOTTINGHAM Forest are on the verge of sealing a £37m deal for Ipswich star Omari Hutchinson.
Forest have been battling with Brentford for the England Under-21 international, with Everton and Inter Milan also interested.

But Nuno Espirito Santo‘s side, whose promotion to the Europa League at the expense of Crystal Palace was confirmed this week, have won the race for Hutchinson.
The deal will also be good news for Chelsea.
The Blues inserted a clause when they sold Hutchinson to Ipswich last year for an initial £20m fee that entitled them to 25 per cent of any profit on a future sale.
The transfer should bring Chelsea a windfall of around £4.25m.
Hutchinson, 21, spent seven years in Arsenal’s academy as a teen.
The livewire winger decided to quit the Gunners for Chelsea in 2022.
Despite his promise, Hutchinson went on to make just two first team appearances for the Blues.
