Omari Hutchinson leaves Arsenal for Chelsea
Chelsea have announced on their official website that they have signed Hutchinson from Premier League rivals Arsenal.
The 18-year-old forward was playing for the Arsenal youth side, and now he will do the same at London rivals Chelsea.
Chelsea’s Head of youth recruitment Jim Fraser told the club’s official website: “We are delighted that Omari has agreed to sign for Chelsea.
“He is a brilliant addition who joins us as an exciting emerging talent hoping to make a quick impression in the senior game.”

In our view, Arsenal will feel the absence of Omari Hutchinson in the coming years.
We know that Chelsea have a very good youth academy, and the Blues signing the 18-year-old forward and showing faith in him shows just how good he is and what he can achieve in the future.
Hutchinson was a key figure in the Arsenal team that finished third in Premier League 2 last season.
The youngster is a very skilful player who plays as a central attacking midfielder or on the right wing.
The 18-year-old is also able to play across the front-three.
Now, of course, Chelsea have a very good and strong senior team, and it is not going to be easy for Hutchinson to establish himself in the senior side rightaway.
However, Hutchinson is only 18 and has time on his hands.
