BVB tracking Omari Hutchinson, English youngster on their radar | OneFootball

Although the salary level on the island is different even at mid-table clubs, Borussia Dortmund continues to look to England in search of reinforcements. In addition to Lewis Miley from Newcastle United, BVB is also reportedly still keeping tabs on Omari Hutchinson, who was already considered a potential new signing last summer, but at that time moved from Ipswich Town to Nottingham Forest for the equivalent of around 43 million euros.

For Nottingham, Hutchinson has made 20 Premier League appearances so far this season, but was only in the starting lineup nine times. Given that, one goal and five assists is not a bad tally, though still with room for improvement, especially considering the youngster, who usually plays as a right winger, is clearly attack-minded.

Top English clubs also interested

Regardless of the numbers, the 22-year-old has attracted the fundamental interest of major clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, and Newcastle United with his performances and overall promising development. There has not yet been a concrete offer from these financially powerful clubs, but one could come in the next few months. In Nottingham, however, the plan is rather to keep Hutchinson, who is under contract until 2030, for at least another year—unless an extremely lucrative offer of well over 60 million euros comes in.

With sums like that, Borussia Dortmund would hardly be a serious contender. According to Sportsboom, however, BVB has been scouting Nottingham’s recent home games, apparently with a focus on Hutchinson. The English U21 international would also fit Dortmund’s philosophy of signing top talents, developing them further, and eventually selling them on for a high price. In Hutchinson’s case, however, the transfer fee seems too high and therefore too risky to apply this strategy.
