Omari Hutchinson has pledged to repay Graham Potter's faith and continue working hard after he was granted a taste of first-team action for Chelsea. The 19-year-old impressed the Blues boss in the west Londoners' mid-season friendly against Aston Villa, marauding up and down the left-wing to excellent effect.
He has featured in Chelsea's matchday squad on a number of occasions this season, with appearances on the bench against Brighton and Newcastle United in the Premier League and Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final. Hutchinson is yet to be handed his competitive senior debut, but as he continues to turn heads, more opportunities look to be on the horizon.
Speaking to the in-house media team at Chelsea, the England youth international revealed that he has enjoyed integrating himself into the first-team culture. Hutchinson said: "It's been a great experience, and getting used to the boys, their culture, and how they are in the building is very good for me and it's going to benefit me in the long run."
