Chelsea leading the race for Dutch defender
The Blues have been linked with many big names across whole Europe. They are keen to stick with their policy of hiring young players. Hence, they were keen to sign Dean Huijsen but have lost the race to Real Madrid. As a result, Chelsea have now shifted their focus to Dutch youngster.
According to Caught Offside, Chelsea are interested to sign Jorrel Hato. The reports states that the Blues are leading the race over other English club. Lastly, they also state that Liverpool can join the race but they have Kerkez as their top priority.
Chelsea admire Hato a lot and have already been in talks with Ajax. The Dutch giants are demanding around €55 million for their prized asset. But, this can come as a good investment due to the player’s age, quality and versatality.
Hato is only 19 years old but regular starter for both Ajax and Netherlands national team. He can play as both left-back and centre-back. This season, he has played 50 games for club and has also registered 3 goals along with 6 assists.
