As first reported by The Athletic and now reiterated by Fabrizio Romano, West Brom and Chelsea have reached an agreement with the clubs preparing to exchange contracts.

With Albion pushing for the promotion spots in the Championship, it is a great opportunity for Hutchinson to develop. The player himself, excited by the promise of game time, has accepted the transfer.

It is now just a matter of getting the paperwork sorted and then Hutchinson will become West Brom’s second deadline day signing. We will keep you posted with any updates, here, at Birmingham World.
