from Arsenal.

The 18-year-old was a key figure for the Gunners side which finished third
in Premier League 2 last season.
A skilful player with the ability to open up defences, he featured
predominantly as a central attacking midfielder or on the right wing
during his time in north London, but can also play across the front three.
Hutchinson was named among the substitutes for Mikel Arteta's senior team
on a number of occasions in the 2021/22 campaign, including their Carabao
Cup semi-final defeat to Liverpool, and most recently when Arsenal visited
Stamford Bridge in the Premier League in late April.
Born in Surrey, the playmaker has represented England at youth level, but
made his senior international debut for Jamaica in a friendly against
Catalonia in May of this year.
Head of youth recruitment Jim Fraser said: '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.'
