Amsterdam, Netherlands – Chelsea don put dem eye for Jorrel Hato from Ajax, and e no fit be like small matter o! As dem dey finalise the deal, rumour dey say dem go drop over €40 million (that one na about £34.8 million or $46.7 million) to snap this 19-year-old Netherlands defender.
Dem never agree on exact price yet, but e be like say negotiation dey sweet well well as dem dey work towards compromise in the coming days. But giss what? Personal terms don already knack for Hato, so na just to settle fee make everything complete! (Na so e be when money dey shine for eye!)
Jorrel Hato na player wey sabi wetin e dey do. E don make 111 first-team appearances for Ajax, captain dem sometimes, and for last season, e play plenty as left-back but fit sabi hold that centre-back position too! This guy don show sense well well as e don represent Netherlands six times for international game. Na 2018 he join Ajax from Sparta Rotterdam, and since January 2023 we don dey see am shine for first team like star!
Meanwhile, Chelsea don already bring in players like Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, and Jamie Gittens dis summer. Dem don sharp dem game, but the ones wey don waka out of Stamford Bridge be plenty – Kepa Arrizabalaga, Noni Madueke, and Djordje Petrovic don don pack dem bag make dem go! (E no easy to maintain all this talent, abeg!)
As Hato dey kuku shine for Ajax, e carry plenty promise. E dey among the hottest prospects in Europe right now! Technically, e dey gifted, and dey fear nobody when e hold ball because e fit dribble and pass well. In fact, na only Richy Ledezma from PSV Eindhoven get better pass completion rate than Hato last season, wey be 89 per cent. (E be like say Hato don dey gear up to take the league by storm!)
But no be all about the glamour. Hato dey grow into him body, and dat go help am for defensive area. Him gree sey e dey solid one-on-one defender, but him fit still work on him aerial game. E no go plenty times battle for the air, but e dey read game like GPS! (With time, we go see am dey carry people with both foot and head!)
This boy get mind sha. Lately, e even request make dem no put am for Ajax pre-season friendly match because e no wan get injury wey go mess up him chance to move to Chelsea. Ajax gree am, but no be say dem no notice the tango wey dey involve Hato’s potential move!
As Chelsea dey finalize this deal, e look like say dem go drop around €50 million (or more) for Hato while Ajax dey try make dem maximally cash out from am. Talk dey go round sey Ajax fit even talk about sell-on clause to sweeten the deal. (As e be, everybody wan chop from the pot!)
And who sabi? Hato no be di only Dutch talent wey fit land for Chelsea this summer! Dem dey also dey eye Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig. This summer dey turn gally, and we dey watch to see wetin go happen next!
