Jamaica call up Arsenal's England U19 international Omari Hutchinson

Jamaica have called up Arsenal youngster Omari Hutchinson.

Hutchison, who was born in England, has represented the Three Lions at U19 and U17 levels.

However, he is eligible to play for Jamaica due to his heritage and has been named in the squad for a friendly against Catalonia on May 25th, reports Jeorge Bird's Arsenal youth website.

Hutchinson has yet to make his competitive senior debut for Arsenal but he did feature in pre-season last year and has been an unused substitute on many occasions.

This season Hutchinson, who can play out wide or as an attacking midfielder, was arguably Arsenal's standout performer at U23 level. It is anticipated that the 18-year-old could go on loan next season.
