Chelsea have been very active in the 2022 summer transfer window. Raheem Sterling has already joined from Manchester City before Kalidou Koulibaly came over from Napoli. However, one of their most astute signings could be the arrival of Omari Hutchinson.

The deal is made sweeter, given that they snatched him from arch-rivals Arsenal. Hutchinson is a young forward who has buckets of potential and has been on the rise over the past few years.

Chelsea are famed for producing top-class young talent, and they have another gem on their hands to develop now.

Who is Omari Hutchinson?

Considered one of the best emerging prospects in England, Hutchinson is a versatile, left-footed forward. He was actually a part of Chelsea's youth setup in the early part of the previous decade.

However, it was Charlton Athletic who signed him in 2012, before joining Arsenal in 2014. It was with the Gunners that Hutchinson became one of the best players in the various age-groups.

Nevertheless, a failure to break into the first-team has now seen him move back to Stamford Bridge. Thomas Tuchel has not been overly averse to incorporating youngsters in his plans for the 2022-23 season.

Conor Gallagher and Armando Broja are confirmed to be getting chances, and Hutchinson could go the same way. Though he will start with the U23s, there is no doubt that the 18-year-old star will be seen for Chelsea in some matches over the season.

Omari Hutchinson Potential:

The sky is the ceiling as they say. Hutchinson is one of the most skillful ballers in the Premier League 2. His days spent playing futsal have certainly helped in developing the necessary tenacity and attitude for the game. As he himself puts it to GOAL in 2021,

The bundles of confidence is evident in his play as Hutchinson is not afraid to take on defenders. He loves running at his opponents, dragging them all over the place, or even take a spectacular shot from distance.

Hutchinson has been one of the best players from the Hale End Academy, and has represented England youth teams too. Moreover, a regular stream of first-team opportunities will only accelerate his development into a great facilitator of attacks.

Omari Hutchinson Stats:

17 goals and 16 assists for the different youth teams over the past three seasons. It is clear that Hutchinson definitely knows how to score and setup top-class chances for teammates.

Moreover, he is not afraid to get on the ball as much as possible, with dribbling and beating defenders. Hutchinson has the pace to get by opponents and he is not afraid to try his luck from distance.

Arsenal have been regularly heralded as having a strong academy system, with Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe part of the senior furniture now. Hutchinson has the potential to eclipse them both with his quality and talent, but the hard work is needed.

Chelsea should definitely trust him more, and give the required amount of first-team minutes to further his career.

Skills and Style of Play:

As mentioned above, Omari Hutchinson is a crafty operator who can bamboozle defenders. Therefore, it makes sense that he wins fouls and runs quick. Hutchinson is a typical wide attacker, and can serve as the major outlet when his team is under pressure.

However, his physicality needs to increase if he is to get ready for the Premier League on a regular basis. His quick feet and vision for a perfect pass makes him a must-have asset.

Moreover, Hutchinson is also accurate from set-pieces, which gives his side an added bonus. Given that Chelsea have a great wingback in Reece James, the combination between the pair will be a treat.

Omari Hutchinson at Chelsea:

He has been given the number 7 shirt, further emphasizing the faith of the board in him. Hutchinson has an extremely bright future ahead of him, but Tuchel must play him with the senior side.

That must have been stated heavily, given it was the main exit behind his exit from Arsenal. Given that they missed out on Raphinha, the Blues could plug in Hutchinson into the space.

Chelsea have been guilty of letting young stars leave in the past, but Hutchinson can buck the trend now.

Although fans have some time to wait before the Premier League 2025/26 season, the preparation for the teams is definitely under way. Manchester City follow Everton, Leeds United and West Ham United are the latest clubs to unveil their Premier League jerseys. While each kit will keep the team colours, there are always new ways to play with the look for both home and away.

2025-26 Premier League jerseys for Each Club

Arsenal

Arsenal’s new kit for their men’s and women’s teams lean into nostalgia with the red shirt, trimmed with white shoulders and red detailing, featuring the letter 'A' on the badge at the forefront, in a reference to the 1990-91 title-winning season.

Aston Villa

The design includes nods to the home city of Birmingham, with design details inspired by the iconic Bullring, where the team has a new fan store.

AFC Bournemouth

The red and black stripes are a little broader than usual and the metallic gold trim adds a sprinkling of glitz. It's unlikely to make much of an impact outside of the immediate vicinity of the Vitality Stadium.

Brentford

Brentford's latest home shirt celebrates the 100th anniversary of the team adopting red and white stripes as their official club colours. Naturally, the design is just that, with the heritage faux lace-up collar being the only real retro appointment of note, a nod to the first batch of home jerseys worn by the Bees in 1925.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Rather than the standard yellow trim, this season's familiar blue-and-white stripes are accompanied by accents of minty turquoise like the rails that run along the city's seafront.

Burnley

The new kit has been designed to visually encapsulate the rugged landscape that surround Burnley and celebrate the beauty of Lancashire.

Chelsea

Chelsea have revealed their sleek away kit, with a largely white look, accented with red and green.

Crystal Palace

After a few years of more experimental and off-piste designs, the Eagles' new home jersey features clean red and blue stripes with all the extra detailing picked out in white.

Everton

This one comes in a beautiful shade of creamy yellow and includes subtle references to the industrial heritage of the Bramley-Moore docklands, the site of the club's new stadium. The pattern on the sleeves references the old railway lines that ran in and out of the area and have since been reinstalled as a heritage attraction. 

Leeds United

The blocky, tessellating pattern found on the collar and cuff is actually a replication of the yellow and blue tile pattern found in the Lowfields Tunnel near Elland Road.

Manchester City

Keeping the typical sky blue colour, Man City have adopted a new look, with a white slash across the front and minimalistic emphasis on its sponsors.

Manchester United

This design is fairly traditional, with a solid red base and sparse black-and-white trim. However, the material does contain a subtle reference to Old Trafford via a smattering of dots and stripes.

Newcastle United

Newcastle United’s 2025/26 kit doesn’t just look good, but also does good, with £5 per shirt sold going to the Newcastle United Foundation.

Nottingham Forest

With a folding collar and immaculate white pinstriping inspired by the revered home shirt of 1992-1994.

Sunderland

A lovely bit of retro-infused handiwork from Danish brand Hummel here, who have used Sunderland's cult classic 1989-91 away kit as inspiration for a demure maritime-themed jersey that is covered in a pattern made up of local coastal landmarks, including the Roker Beach lighthouse.

Tottenham Hotspur

Released with the dramatic tagline "In darkness, we dare," the blackout design has a dark-grey grid pattern overlaid to add some texture. 

West Ham United

The new away kit is the particular shade of creamy off-white that only seems to exist in British football kits of the mid-to-late-1990s. 

Wolverhampton Wanderers

A sharp kit that also features a mini history lesson in the form of the pattern that is debossed into the fabric of the jersey. 

UEFA Women's Champions League winners Arsenal are set to break all the past transfer fee records for 20-year-old Canadian forward from Liverpool, Olivia Smith. Smith is now on the verge of becoming the world's first women's player to break the £1m transfer fee record. 

If the deal gets completed, Olivia Smith will break the record for the most expensive transfer fee in women's football history, beating the record of Naomi Girma, who was bought by Chelsea FC Women for £900,000.

Who is Olivia Smith?

Olivia Smith is a 20-year-old centre forward from Canada, born on August 5, 2004. Olivia started her football career in Ontario, Canada, playing youth soccer before joining college football in the United States at Penn State University.

Club career so far

To pursue her career in football, Smith left college early and joined Sporting CP in Portugal in 2023, where she played the first professional season of her career. After a sensational season with Sporting, where she netted 13 goals and produced nine assists in 18 league games.

Smith went on to win the Best Young Player and Revelation Player as Sporting finished second in the league, behind Benfica. 

Her extraordinary skill as a teenager caught the eyes of Liverpool, and she was signed by the Reds in July 2024. In her first season in the Women's Super League, Smith scored 7 goals in 20 appearances. In the whole season for the Reds, she scored 9 times and provided an assist in 25 games. 

Smith was even nominated for the WSL Player of the Year 2025 award. She was named the LFC Women's Player of the Season 2024/25.

International career

Smith debuted for Canada at just 15 years and 94 days old, becoming her country's youngest player ever in 2019. She also played in the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023. 

Till now, she has appeared 18 times for Canada, scoring 3 goals. 

Why are Arsenal willing to pay the most expensive transfer fee for Olivia Smith?

Well, the truth is that Olivia Smith might find it hard to find a place in the playing XI for Arsenal FC Women. The UEFA Women's Champions League winners have Mariona Caldentey, Beth Mead, Alessia Russo and Chloe Kelly in the team, and this will make it very hard for Olivia to start in every game.

So, why are they willing to pay such a high amount for her?

Just like all the men's football teams in the world are thinking, the women's teams are also thinking the same. With Olivia Smith, Arsenal are thinking long-term goals, and that is why they are willing to pay big bucks for the Canadian. 

"I don't necessarily know how easily she walks into that Arsenal team, obviously they won the Champions League last season, which makes them extremely lucrative, but they've got a great attacking threat already," Rachel Corsie, former Scotland captain, told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"It will be a challenge for her, but probably an addition for Arsenal that they'll expect is maybe one of those signings who could be at the club for a number of years," she added.

In the world of football, few clubs stand out like Chelsea FC. Their trophy cabinet tells a story of incredible success, proving that they have truly won it all!

Here is trophy cabinet of Chelsea FC that defines their successful journey in the football world. Take a look.

European Royalty: Conquering the Continent

Chelsea have battled across the continent's most prestigious stages and won every major UEFA club trophy, a feat few clubs can claim.

Their crowning achivements including 2 UEFA Champions League titles, notable defeating Bayern Munich [1-1 (4-3 pens)] in 2012 and Manchester City (1-0) in 2021.

Beyond the Champions League, Chelsea also lifted the UEFA Europa League twice (2013, 2019), and the now-defunct UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1971, famously against Real Madrid in the replay, and also in 1998.

Additionally, two UEFA Super Cup victories (1998, 2021) further highlight their continental dominance.

The collection was completed with their 2025 UEFA Conference League triumph, where Chelsea FC beat Real Betis 4-1 in the final.

The domestic dominance of Chelsea FC

Beyond their European conquests, they have also established as masters of England by securing highest domestic honors.

The Blues clinched the First Division/Premier League title and impress six times (1955, 2005, 2006, 2010, 2015, 2017) along with eight FA Cup victories (1970, 1997, 2000, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2018). This makes them the competition's most successful team.

Their domestic dominance also extends to League Cup, which they have won five times in the following years: 1965, 1998, 2005, 2007, 2015.

Completing the Set: Global and Historic Honors

The FIFA Club World Cup win over Palmeiras (2-1) in 2021, made them only London club to win the Champions League as well as the FIFA Club World Cup. More recently, they added their 2nd CWC title after a dominating 3-0 victory over PSG in 2025.

Further adding to their phenomenal collection are four Charity/Community Shield triumphs (1955, 2000, 2005, 2009), which mark their traditional early-season dominance.

As we move down to the final count, Chelsea also holds two Full Members' Club Victories (1986, 1990).

Team News and Current Form

Both teams have looked their best in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.  Enzo Maresca's Chelsea have been very attacking, while Luis Enrique's PSG have outsmarted every team in Europe. 

Chelsea will be eying their second trophy this season. Meanwhile, PSG are looking for a quadruple season.

Chelsea

Chelsea joined the tournament after winning the UEFA Conference League and ensuring their place in the UEFA Champions League 2025-26. Boosted with young talents at a high price, Maresca's young team has been a bit up and down throughout the season.

However, in the Club World Cup, they have shown good form, winning five matches from six to reach the final. Blues' new signing Joao Pedro showed how he can be the perfect solution to Chelsea's attacking issues, after scoring against his boyhood club Fluminense in the semis. 

Despite finishing only second in Group D, Chelsea did not have to face any European giant in the knockouts before the final. So, Maresca will have to adapt to PSG's European style of play, and it will surely be a tough job for him. 

The good news for the London-based club is that their star midfielder, Moises Caicedo, has recovered from his ankle injury and was seen during training. So, he will be available for selection. 

But Dario Essugo and Romeo Lavia will not be available due to muscular problems, along with Benoit Badiashile, who is also doubtful for the final. Noni Madueke is unlikely to play in between his transfer talks with Arsenal.

Recent form | Chelsea

PSG

The current Ligue 1 and UEFA Champions League winners have been the best team in the world this season. They have gone past anyone who has come in front of them.

Luis Enrique's team has shown that even without a big name like Kylian Mbappe, you can win trophies with tactics, execution and passion. 

PSG, just like their opponent Chelsea, have won five out of six games in the FIFA Club World Cup. They surprisingly lost against Botafogo in the group stage, and thus had to face teams like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid en route to the final. 

Against Bayern, they registered a 2-0 victory and then went on to smash Real Madrid 4-0 in the semis. Fabian Ruiz scored a brace and Ousmane Dembele scored, asisted and pre-assisted to announce he is ready to win the Ballon d'Or 2025. 

Goncalo Ramos also scored during the dying minutes of the match. 

In terms of injury news and availability, Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez will miss the final after receiving red cards in the quarters. Other than that, there are no injury concerns for them.
