ISAAC Hutchinson is attracting interest from Championship clubs and is unlikely to feature for Southend United against Morecambe this afternoon.

The attacking midfielder has been with Blues since 2018 after joining following his release from Brighton & Hove Albion.

But the 20-year-old is now close to leaving with at least three clubs showing an interest in signing him.

Hutchinson has started three of the Shrimpers’ four games so far this season and has made 40 appearances for the club in total.
