The 17-year-old attacker has been with Arsenal since the age of 11 and has progressed through the age groups at Hale End.

Hutchinson, who his first professional contract in November last year, is known for his technical ability, passing and speed.

He has made 18 appearances for Arsenal’s U18s this season, registering an impressive four goals and seven assists.

Arsenal were two down heading towards the break, but Hutchinson halved the deficit just before half time after being set up by goalkeeper Hubert Graczyk.

Zac Emmerson put Brighton 3-1 up but Hutchinson scored an injury-time penalty to give his side a glimmer of hope.
