Chelsea are swooping for Arsenal prospect Omari Hutchinson.

The Daily Mail says Hutchinson was taking a Chelsea medical today.

The midfielder will be initially registered with Chelsea's U21 squad.

The youngster's departure is a blow for Arsenal, where he was viewed as a future first teamer.

Hutchinson, 18, is yet to make a first-team appearance for Arsenal after working his way through their youth system, but has been named on the bench on several occasions.
