Nottingham Forest star Omari Hutchinson has been spotted heading to Casa Milan to sign his contract with Serie A giants AC Milan.

The Tricky Trees splashed a sizeable €43.4m to bring Hutchinson in from Ipswich Town last August and there were big expectations attached to his arrival.

He made 41 appearances in his first season at the City Ground, contributing to nine goals as the Garibaldis finished in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

However, Hutchinson slipped down the pecking order under new boss Oliver Glasner and was left out of Nottingham Forest’s squad for their game against Liverpool.

Despite having four years left on his contract with Nottingham Forest, the Englishman is set to secure a temporary move away from the club by joining AC Milan.

The 22-year-old first emerged as a target for the Italian giants last week, and the Rossoneri moved quickly to secure a deal.

The deal is structured as a paid loan, worth €4m, which includes a non-mandatory purchase option set at €40m in the event he impresses in Italy.

AC Milan boss Ruben Amorim was keen to add a winger, with Hutchinson fitting the bill at the San Siro outfit.

Now he has been spotted leaving the hotel and heading to Casa Milan where he will be able to complete his switch to Serie A.

Hutchinson becomes one of an ever growing contingent of Premier League stars to head for Serie A this summer.

John Stones, Djed Spence and Curtis Jones all completed moves to join AC Milan’s city rivals Inter Milan.

Now Hutchinson will look to quickly find favour under Amorim and make an impact in Serie A.
