Chelsea has built one of the youngest squads in Europe, but the club remains active in the search for top emerging talent—this time turning its attention to the Netherlands.
Details: According to Sky Sports, Chelsea is seriously considering a move for 19-year-old Jorrel Hato. The Blues have been tracking the Ajax defender’s development closely and are keen to bring him to Stamford Bridge.
Hato made his senior debut for Ajax on January 11, 2023, and just weeks later, on February 5, he earned his first Eredivisie start—becoming the third-youngest debutant in the club’s illustrious history.
In recognition of his rapid rise, The Guardian named Hato among the top footballers born in 2006 in its October 2023 list.
