Arsenal are plotting a summer move to sign versatile Dutch youngster. They have keeping tabs on the player since two years and may step-up their interest this summer.
Arsenal are set for a busy summer transfer window with Mikel Arteta wanting attacking players as top priority. In addition, the club also need attention towards midfield as Partey and Jorginho are leaving. Lastly, a backup keeper is also on the radar as Neto will depart in summer.
Gunners have a very solid defensive unit which is maybe the best in Premier League. But, they will still need to stay attentive in that position as some key players may depart this summer. As of now, both Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior are linked with exit.
Arsenal showing strong interest in Jorrel Hato
According to TBR Football, Gunners are linked with Ajax defender Jorrel Hato. They have kept close tabs on the player since the last two years. Along with the North London side, their English rivals Liverpool are also interest in Hato.
Hato is 19 years old Dutch defender who has came up through Ajax academy. He made his debut for Ajax’s first-team in the 2022/23 season when he was only 15 years old. Ever since, he has emerged as one of the key players for the squad.
Hato is capable of playing as both centre-back and left-back. He has so far played 106 games for Ajax and registered 3 goals along with 9 assists. In addition, he has already made his debut for Netherlands national team for whom he has played 5 matches so far.
Hato can be a good replacement for both Kiwior and Zinchenko. But, it will be interesting to see if Arsenal actually step-up their interest this summer. As of now, they have both Calafiori and Lewis-Skelly playing a similar role and having a great impact on the squad.
