ARSENAL fans were left excited by starlet Omari Hutchinson after he produced a stunning backheel assist in Wednesday’s 1-1 draw against Bournemouth’s U23s.
A well-worked bit of action saw Hutchinson played in following a fine run from the left wing.

Hutchinson strafed wide as a teammate drifted into the centre of the field.
And right on cue Hutchinson pulled the trigger on a superb backpass, taking out Bournemouth’s defence and setting up Arenal’s goal at the Vitality Stadium.
Gunners supporters quickly took to Twitter praising the effort from their latest academy hero.
One said: “Omari literally removed three players out of the game with just one pass.”
Another noted: “Hutchinson is special mehn.”
One tweeted: “Hutchinson assist too easy for him.”

Another declared: “What a great assist that led to the goal. It was a nice assist.”
One added: “That was slick.”
Indeed, Hutchinson could soon get a chance to impress with the senior squad.
SunSport can exclusively reveal that midfielders Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Mohammed Elneny are considering their futures.
Both players have barely featured for Mikel Arteta this term.

Maitland-Niles was denied a move to Everton over the summer.
Meanwhile, Elneny is out of contract in 2022.
But with Granit Xhaka injured and Thomas Partey set to play at the African Cup of Nations, Arteta could soon find himself light in midfield.
