Arsenal lose Star Academy player to Chelsea
Arsenal have lost wonderkid Omar Hutchinson to Chelsea as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano and The secret scout.
Well, it is a nightmare for the Gunners and a good news for Chelsea. it could have a lot of impact on Hale End.
Romano claims talks between Arsenal and Omar over a new contract have collapsed, allowing Chelsea to steal and sign the 18-year-old.

Now that’s a blow for Mikel Arteta. Hutchinson is one of Hale End’s best prodigies.
The Redhill-born forward scored eight goals in all competitions at youth level last season, while also providing seven assists.
Some have also said that the teenager is a more interesting prospect than Bukayo Saka during his time at Hale End Academy, which is a statement indicating where the 20-year-old is now.
Mikel Arteta intended to use Hutchinson in the Europa League next season.
Unfortunately, that will no longer be possible, as Omar has decided to swap Gunners for the blues, where Tuchel awaits him.
As mentioned above, Arsenal need to do something about this situation as losing Hutchinson to a rival like Chelsea will send the wrong signal to their Academy players.
The Gunners need to explain why this is happening and make sure they don’t lose their best young players to Premier League rivals again.
For example, people currently at Hale End might look at this situation and think, “If Hutchinson can’t see a future here, it’s probably not worth my stay.
” If that’s what some in Hale End are thinking right now, an urgent meeting needs to be held.
Let’s hope that none of Hale End’s best decisions for it will really spoil the mood at Arsenal.
