West Brom had <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/01\/31\/west-brom-omari-hutchinson-loan\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">reached an agreement<\/a> with Chelsea, and the player had also agreed to the move.<\/p>\n<p>It is a shame as Hutchinson is a terrific young player who has impressed whenever given the opportunity. So much so in fact that Graham Potter has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hitc.com\/en-gb\/2022\/12\/14\/premier-league-coach-lauds-dangerous-talent-signed-from-arsenal\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">labelled<\/a> him as a &#8220;dangerous&#8221; winger with a lot of quality. However, those opportunities have proven to be incredibly rare at Stamford Bridge, and this loan move could have been very beneficial for the 19-year-old.<\/p>\n<h3>Not the Only Chelsea Deal to Fall Through<\/h3>\n<p>As disappointed as he will be, Hutchinson wasn&#8217;t the only player to miss out on a move away from the Blues on deadline day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/01\/31\/tottenham-hotspur-matt-doherty-atletico-madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Tottenham Hotspur Terminate Contract of \u2018Sensational\u2019 Defender<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fellow winger Hakim Ziyech was at the centre of a possible high-profile move to French giants Paris Saint-Germain, only for him to also see his <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/01\/31\/hakim-ziyech-chelsea-psg-turmoil\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">move collapse<\/a> in agonising fashion. Chelsea are believed to be at fault, with the club reportedly failing to send the required documents on more than one occasion.<\/p>\n<h3>Enzo Fernandez Deal to Blame?<\/h3>\n<p>Chelsea eventually got their man, agreeing to a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/01\/31\/fabrizio-romano-enzo-fernandez\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">record fee<\/a> for Enzo Fernandez late in the evening on deadline day. However, leaving it so late meant there was very little time left to get the deal over the line.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Nizaar Kinsella, of the Standard, has <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NizaarKinsella\/status\/1620571939499556865\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">suggested<\/a> that: &#8220;Chelsea&#8217;s lawyers had too much workload&#8221; desperately trying to complete that deal and Hutchinson&#8217;s and Ziyech&#8217;s moves fell through as a result.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/01\/31\/bayern-munich-manchester-united-marcel-sabitzer\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Manchester United Announce Signing of \u00a3165k-Per-Week \u2018First-Class\u2019 Player in Last-Minute Deal<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If true, it would certainly be controversial, but ultimately, Enzo Fernandez was the club&#8217;s number one target throughout the window, and it therefore wouldn&#8217;t be surprising if he was their main focus of the night.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"f54zlL7SR79M7KMgy3UrGA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1246090423\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'f54zlL7SR79M7KMgy3UrGA',sig:'OLcX1d-cx4HMYEhPIwbAH2BSV8awOnF9uaYYaGWpq6I=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1246090423',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a dramatic turn of events, Chelsea winger Omari Hutchinson will remain at the club after his loan move to West Bromwich Albion fell through.
