Chelsea look to be keen to immediately loan out Omari Hutchinson, having signed the former Arsenal player last month.
Simon Johnson claims that Hutchinson is “on the verge” of joining Reading on loan. After shining in the youth ranks for the Gunners, a step up to senior football has been coming.
Has already been talked about elsewhere, but I'm also hearing Omari Hutchinson is on the verge of joining Reading from #CFC on loan. Only joined from #AFC last month but a loan was earmarked from the get-go for his development.

It had initially been thought that his signing might be to strengthen the development squad, which was almost relegated last year, but that always perhaps underrated his top tier talent, and a spell in the Championship sounds much more like it.
Hutchinson joins Carney Chukwuemeka and Gabriel Slonina as the top teenage talents signed by Chelsea this season, and while the former may get first team minutes, the latter two are going to play senior football for other teams while Chelsea keep an eye on their development.
After supporting Huddersfield and Coventry last season, Chelsea fans have their Championship team lined up for this season already it seems…
