Chelsea has been linked to the moves of Ajax defender Jorrel Hato this summer.
The 19-year-old has received high praise throughout Europe and has been linked to the Premier League in recent months. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, he is on the radar of Chelsea and it will be interesting to see if they decide to take action for him.
Liverpool are also interested in the Dutch defender.
Chelsea needs defenders
There is no doubt that the Dutch defender is an elite prospect with a bright future and in the long run he may become a key player for the Blues. He can operate as a left-back and a central defender.
Last season, the player provided Ajax with nine goals contributions, and he could add a new dimension to the backline. The chance to join one of the world’s largest clubs will also be very exciting for the players.
Chelsea has qualified for the Champions League next season and they will seek to fight for the trophy.
They need to tighten up behind, and signing the 19-year-old boy might be a wise decision. They have looked vulnerable in the past season.
Jorrel Hato can fantasize about Chelsea moving
Hato has proven himself in Dutch football and he will hope to test himself at a higher level. This summer, heading to the Premier League may be his ideal choice. Whether Chelsea will sign his offer remains to be seen. They have the resources to complete the deal, and the 19-year-old may be a long-term investment for them.
The player, who has been called a “special” talent in the past, will realize his potential through regular football in England.
