According to FourFourTwo, Arsenal youngster Omari Hutchinson is ‘more exciting than Bukayo Saka was in the under-23s’ at the Gunners.

FourFourTwo have named Arsenal youngster Hutchinson among the 50 most exciting teenagers in world football at the moment.

The 18-year-old has been placed at number 36.

Hutchinson plays as an attacking midfielder and is left-footed.

According to FourFourTwo, Arsenal teenager Hutchinson ‘has a similarly wicked left foot and an ability to cut in from the left – but he’s flashier, enjoys a mazy run and plays like he’s on his lunchtime at school’.

Omari Hutchinson is a future Arsenal star

In our view, Hutchinson is one for the future for Arsenal and could become a first-team player in the coming years.

The teenager is doing well for the Arsenal Under-23 side at the moment, and it is only a matter of time before he establishes himself in the senior squad.

We have seen with Saka and Emile Smith Rowe that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will give chances to Hale End academy graduates if they are good enough.

Hutchinson needs to continue to work on his game and improve himself, and he will get his chances.

Let us not forget that Hutchinson is only 18, so there is no rush for him or for Arsenal to fast-track him into the senior squad on a permanent basis.
