Arsenal academy ace Omari Hutchinson continues to make waves for the Gunners at age level.

Last season, the 17-year-old was a cut above in the Under-18s, with nine goals and nine assists from 23 appearances.

Hutchinson made one appearance for the Under-23s last term too, a precursor of what was to come in 2021-22.

The attacking midfielder already has more goals and assists than he has appearances for the U23s this term.

Although Arsenal suffered a 6-1 hammering by West Ham in their opening Premier League 2 game, they’ve bounced back with two wins.

The young Gunners ran out 4-2 winners over Crystal Palace last week, with Hutchinson scoring twice.

And on Friday, Arsenal triumphed the North London mini-derby against Spurs, courtesy of a 2-1 win.

Kevin Betsy’s charges fell behind on 50 minutes as Alfie Devine put Tottenham in front.

However, Kido Taylor-Hart – another player tipped for great things at Arsenal – struck a brace for all three points.

And Hutchinson provided both assists for his teammate, as well as hitting the crossbar and posing a constant threat.

Some Arsenal fans reckon he’ll be in the first team soon:
