Chelsea showing interest in Jorrel Hato

Ben Jacobs has reported that the Blues are showing interest in Jorrel Hato. Hato is 18 years old Dutch defender who currently plays for Ajax. Jacobs added that this deal will be very likely a topic of summer window instead of this season.

Hato is equally effective as both left back and centre back. He has been first team player for Ajax since the 2022/23 season. Last season, he became the regular starter for Dutch giants and played 46 games.

This season Hato has added more goals and assists to his tally. He has so far scored 3 goals and picked 4 assists in 30 games which is an impressive record for any defender.

Hato will be a perfect fit in the new hiring strategy adapted by Chelsea. He will turn 19 years old in March and can be a long term investment for the West London outfit. A move to Premier League will be step up in Hato’s career and it can be enough to convince him.

Hato can compete with Marc Cucurella for starting position whereas can also play as centre-back whenever required. He will be a direct upgrade in Ben Chilwell. However, the Blues will need to pay a hefty fee as the defender is also being looked upon by many other clubs.
