I would be surprised if Fellows went to Ipswich, they signed Ogbene for £8m yesterday and he's also a right winger. They also signed Hutchinson who plays that position earlier in the window for £18m.
That said, they do seem to have operated a kid in a candy shop approach to signings this summer, so you never know.
I do expect him to go though, sadly, otherwise where is the Johnston money coming from?
I wouldn't be surprised if he went to Everton as Dyche has always liked having old school wingers who can get to the byline and cross. This seems to be Fellows' bread and butter.
Personally, if selling Fellows means Johnston comes in, along with a cash injection to buy another and alleviate our financial problems, I'd be content with that. As much as I like Fellows, I think Johnston is the better all round player currently and at £3m would be an absolute steal. If he can replicate the form he showed last season, he'll be worth a lot more than that this time next year.
Of course, ideally we would ship Jed and/or Grant to sign Johnston and keep Fellows. But I see the Fellows departure as more realistic.

Ipswich apparently have already had 2 offers turned down. I'd try and sell him and have him back on loan for this season. Good fee and keep him for one more season.
We have to accept we will always have to sell our best players unless by some miracle we get promoted.
With MJ about to be seen in the New shirt it's not all bad.

We have to hold our breath for one more day. All over at 11pm Friday night.
I don’t want Fellows to go but. Any help think that the money will eventually be too much to say no to.
If that is the case I hope we have a cunning plan to buy someone last minute.
