Omari Hutchinson’s estimated Nottingham Forest salary compared to Ipswich Town | OneFootball

FLW takes a look at just how lucrative the 22-year-old's summer switch has proven to be

Omari Hutchinson's estimated wages increased dramatically following his £37.5m move from Ipswich Town to Nottingham Forest.

During Town’s 23/24 Premier League promotion season, the 22-year-old contributed to 11 goals and five assists across 50 appearances on loan - yet he was estimated to be one of the lowest paid players at the Suffolk club.

Even when he signed permanently for an initial fee of £18m, the former Chelsea prospect was once again listed towards the foot of the Tractor Boys' estimated wage table in the top-flight.

So, it's perhaps to no one's surprise that when he arrived in the East Midlands for the aforementioned lump sum four months ago, his weekly wage skyrocketed in equal measure.

FLW takes a look at just how lucrative Hutchinson's summer switch has proven to be when compared to his time at Portman Road.

Omari Hutchinson's wage increase from Ipswich Town to Nottingham Forest

According to Capology estimates, Hutchinson is now earning an annual salary of £2.86m at Nottingham Forest based on his current estimated weekly earnings of £55k-per-week.

This amount represents a staggering increase of over 900 percent from his initial Ipswich loan spell - with Capology stating the young attacker was earning £3k-per-week at that time.

Accounting for that single season in the top flight for Town, his weekly wage apparently only doubled - meaning Hutchinson was earning approximately £6k-per-week.

It must be taken into consideration that the data provided by Capology are not official figures, but it does paint a picture of just how much Hutchinson's fortunes have changed in a relatively short space of time.

To put this into perspective, he's gone from having an annual salary of around £165k to £2.86m within three seasons.

Using these estimated figures, despite earning significantly less than what he is now pocketing at Forest, Hutchinson's contributions to Ipswich cannot be undermined.

Although you'd expect Ipswich wouldn't have had an impact on how much he was earning whilst on loan from Chelsea, Hutchinson's willingness to accept a seemingly modest wage after that showed his commitment to wanting to prove himself in the Premier League.

How much Omari Hutchinson earns at Nottingham Forest compared to Ipswich Town's 25/26 highest earner

In comparison to the rest of Ipswich Town's promotion winning squad of 23/24, there were a whopping 27 players earning more per week than Hutchinson, according to Capology.For some context - the highest-paid player in that squad was Brandon Williams on an estimated £65k-per-week, which is more than what the attacker is approximately earning now.

Last season, Kalvin Phillips took that crown with £150k-per-week, albeit both him and Williams were temporary Town players on loan from Manchester United and Manchester City respectively.

Ipswich's highest-paid players listed on Capology now though, are Leif Davies, Dara O'Shea and Jens Cajuste. All three of whom are estimated to be on £35k-per-week. Hutchinson would obviously surpass this amount by £20k.

Despite being left out of Forest's first Europa League squad under Nuno Espirito Santo, John Percy reported that the former Tractor Boy is set to be added to the 25-man list after impressing Sean Dyche.

Seeing as though he's listed as the Reds' 14th highest-paid player this season, it's probably a relief to everyone at the City Ground that Hutchinson is now being trusted with regular minutes to show why the club broke their transfer record to sign him.
