Arsenal targets Ajax star Jorrel Hato for summer transfer window
According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal has chosen Jorrel Hato, a rising star at Ajax, as a major objective for the coming summer transfer window.
Hato, who is only 18 years old, has already made a huge impact on the football world. After making his debut for Ajax last season, he quickly established himself as a crucial player in the group at the start of the current season.
‘Arsenal are also working on their future, they have many wonderkids in their academy but there is a player they’re after and he’s playing at Ajax, he’s a centre-back and it’s Jorrel Hato,’ Romano said on the Here We Go podcast.
‘Hato signed a new deal with Ajax a few months ago, Ajax are obviously more than happy with him and hoping to keep Hato at the club in the summer.
‘But Arsenal are still following him, they’ve tracked him multiple times, they believe he is a top, top centre back in terms of potential, so keep an eye on Arsenal. They are still pushing on Hato and they believe they are frontrunners in the race to sign him.
‘Let’s see if they can make it happen this summer, or has to be in the future, but Hato remains one of the priority names on Arsenal’s list.’
Ajax noticed Hato’s talent and potential and signed him to a hefty contract extension that would keep him with the Dutch side until 2028.
However, this has not discouraged Arsenal, who, according to transfer experts Fabrizio Romano, are actively pursuing a deal to bring Hato to the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners are said to be in the advanced stages of preparing a compelling offer to entice the young center-back to make the move to North London.
With a reputation for nurturing young talent, Arsenal sees Hato as a crucial addition to their defensive lineup, aiming to bolster their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Arsenal as they push forward in their pursuit of securing Jorrel Hato’s signature, hoping to make him a cornerstone of their future success.
