CHELSEA wonderkid Omari Hutchinson has agreed to join West Brom on loan, according to reports.
The highly-rated youngster joined from Arsenal last summer but he’s struggled for game-time.

He did make his senior debut as a substitute against Manchester City earlier this month before featuring against Pep Guardiola’s side in the FA Cup three days later.
But he’s not been involved since and has is set to drop into the Championship to help West Brom‘s promotion push.
According to Fabrizio Romano, an agreement has been reached for the 19-year-old to spend the rest of the season at the Hawthorns.
Despite his lack of first-team opportunities, Hutchinson has impressed for Chelsea‘s Under-21s.
In 14 Premier League 2 appearances, the teenager has scored five goals and chipped in with seven assists.
But he’s now expected to link up with West Brom, who lost their last league match against Burnley but have been on an incredible run under Carlos Corberan.
And prior to that defeat, the Midlands club had won nine of their last 10 Champ matches, which has put them firmly in the race for the play-offs.
They’re currently tenth, but are just one point behind sixth place and only four behind Middlesbrough in third with a game in hand.

Should Hutchinson sign before the deadline, he’ll be hoping to make his debut in their Friday night clash with Coventry.
He’ll become West Brom’s second signing on deadline day after Nathaniel Chalobah arrived from Fulham earlier today.
