Chelsea winger Omari Hutchinson is set to spend the remainder of the season with Championship side West Bromwich Albion, football.london understands.
The 19-year-old, who joined Chelsea from Arsenal in the summer, has starred for the Development Squad this season and was handed his first-team debut in the Premier League defeat to Manchester City earlier this month. Another senior outing followed against Pep Guardiola's side in the FA Cup.
However, the signings of Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke pushed Hutchinson down the pecking order and a number of clubs registered their interest in borrowing the winger for the rest of the 2022/23 season.

West Bromwich Albion went into deadline day ahead in the race to sign Hutchinson and the Baggies have now agreed a loan deal with Chelsea. There are still formalities to complete but the move is expected to go through in plenty of time.
Hutchinson is set to be the second departure from Chelsea today after Jorginho sealed a move to Premier League leaders Arsenal. The Italian, who had just five months remaining on his contract, departs in a transfer worth an initial £10million.
A late deadline-day move for Hakim Ziyech remains in the pipeline; the Morocco international is currently in Paris and awaiting confirmation that a switch to PSG has been sealed. Chelsea, meanwhile, remain locked in talks with Benfica over the club-record signing of Enzo Fernandez.
