Omari Hutchinson excited to grab senior Chelsea chance in UAE

Chelsea's time in Abu Dhabi is a great boon for the club's youngsters this season.

The likes of Omari Hutchinson, who is only 19, have gotten a chance to train and play with first-team players while most of the club's top stars are away on World Cup duty.

Hutchinson spoke about their warm weather training in the UAE, along with his own ambitions for the rest of the season.

“I always try to impress the manager when I go on the pitch," the teenager told the club website.

“I try to do that with goals and assists, that's my main objective.

“It's been a great experience so far. The boys are getting closer together and the training has been very hard."

“I'm looking forward to getting advice from the older players, the more experienced ones," he continued.

“The boys who are in the World Cup helped me before they went away as well.

“I've been getting on with Reece James a lot. Carney Chukwuemeka and I get on well, Trevoh Chalobah too. All of the boys really."
