Chelsea establishes connections to sign ‘radical’ £17m ace; they respond
Chelsea are now also now reaching their first contact for the first time as a deal is already getting closer to signing Ajax’s Jorrel Hato.
Chelsea closes Harto
As usual, Chelsea welcomes a few new faces this summer. When Enzo Maresca prepares for his second season, he now has people like Joao Pedro, Liam Delap and Jamie Gittens, who can master one, which is still a team full of quality.
However, the Blues are not yet fully ending their summer business. Those at Stamford Bridge still had the money to spend, so they turned to Harto after showing the doors to joining London rivals Arsenal and Saudi’s Joao Felix’s Noni Madueke.
The 19-year-old left-back now looks destined to be the latest young talent to reach West London, and Chelsea continues to build one of the youngest teams in the Premier League.
However, Harto’s gentle age is unlikely to hinder first-team opportunities. The Dutch already has extensive experience in this area and even won the Europa League advantage for Ajax last season.
Statman Dave recently praised BBC Radio 5 Live’s big transfer speech: “When you look at his stats throughout the season, we start to see a very creative and creative player. He has the potential to be similar to Trent Alexander -Arnold, which is what I liken him to a European player in Europe.”

Chelsea adopts the first method of signing weah
According to Spazioj, Chelsea has taken the first approach to signing Juventus’ Timothy Weah, just to get the Americans to refuse the summer transfer to Stamford Bridge.
This is not the first time the winger has refused to join a Premier League club. Earlier this summer, reports said he had handed Nottingham Forest to his answer to Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur now. As a result, his future is now a big problem.
Juventus is still willing to sell Weah for about €20 million (£17 million) by next season, but it remains to be seen whether the likes of Chelsea will try to convince the 25-year-old again.
Former Juventus boss Thiago Motta took the opportunity to praise Weah after scoring six goals in all games last season and providing five assists in all games – telling reporters: “I saw him well, the first thing the defender is to defend, be aggressive, win games, he won a lot of games. He was very positive, he still improved, I was very happy with what I saw and most importantly, he also managed to score goals.”
