Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Yunus Musah have bigged up Arsenal academy product Omari Hutchinson and called the now-Chelsea winger a ‘magician’, as they posted on Instagram.
The 19-year-old made a big call in the summer by heading for the exit door at Arsenal and moving across London to sign for rivals Chelsea.
On Sunday, during a friendly defeat against Aston Villa, the all-action attack put on a strong showing against a very strong and experienced Unai Emery side.
There were more youngsters playing for Graham Potter than the Midlands outfit, with Hutchinson proving to be one of the best players on the pitch.
During one moment of the game, he ran out Lucas Digne, proceeded to cut onto his left foot, and at a very difficult angle, slammed the post with a brilliant curling effort.
In the comments section of his IG post, Aubameyang, who was with him at Arsenal and now Chelsea, called him a ‘magician’, whilst his former Hale-End teammate, Yunus Musah added ‘Big things coming bro, keep at it’.
BIG 12 MONTHS COMING UP FOR HUTCHINSON
He didn’t leave his comfort zone at Arsenal to warm the bench at Chelsea, but to play first-team football.
It doesn’t help Hutchinson that the man who brought him to Stamford Bridge, Thomas Tuchel, was booted out of the door at the start of the season.
But Graham Potter is a man who does provide youngsters with a chance, so there is every chance fans will now see more of Hutchinson as the season progresses.
