Chelsea starlet Omari Hutchinson is available on loan this summer.
As reported by The Athletic, Omari Hutchinson has been excluded from the club’s pre-season tour in order to focus on securing a loan move away from Stamford Bridge. West Brom have previously shown an interest in the player and will be delighted to see that he has been made available.
The Baggies will have to act fast though, as Hutchinson will certainly attract plenty of interest from elsewhere now that he has been put in the shop window.
West Brom have endured a slow start to the summer, and financial issues at the club mean their spending power is reduced. Due to this, the Midlands outfit simply cannot afford to let the opportunity to pick up Hutchinson on loan pass them by.
Who is Omari Hutchinson?
Hutchinson began his career in the Chelsea academy before switching to the Arsenal youth set-up at a young age. The versatile attacker was very highly-rated by the north London club, but the 19-year-old opted for a return to Stamford Bridge when the opportunity arose in 2022.
Hutchinson has since made just two first team appearances for Chelsea, but did draw praise from then-manager Graham Potter after an impressive display in a friendly in December. Potter said of Hutchinson’s performance, “really good, really good…dangerous, asked questions all the time,” as quoted by the Evening Standard.
The twice-capped Jamaica international now needs regular game time to help him reach his potential. He would get that at the Hawthorns. Adding Hutchinson to Carlos Corberan’s squad would be a huge and welcome boost for West Brom this summer.
