Young, versatile and impressive: defenders with the qualities rarely become available and rarer is still cheap. That seems that this will be the case for Jorrel Hato, who has reached the radars of various European giants this summer.
Including Real Madrid's. The Spanish giants had added Hato to their list of best talents to strengthen the defense and send scouts to view the Ajax star. At only 19, and a full international with the Netherlands, Hato performed well in the Nations League against Lamine Yamal. He also has the opportunity to play left-back, something that is appreciated in the Spanish capital with doubt about the position that is currently. Given that versatility and its comfort on the ball, it has been received that he could be a long -term successor to David Alaba.
However, it seems that the most likely destination of Hato is the Premier League. According to prison offside, Arsenal is the most advanced with the signing of Hato. They have had discussions with his representatives and a contract offer of six years, and the Dutchman will consider their proposal.
In addition to Real Madrid, Liverpool and Newcastle United are mentioned as clubs that follow his progress, but the strongest rivals are considered Chelsea. This newest move leads the Gunners to the defender of € 50 million.
After the signing of Dean Huijsen for € 60 million, it would be a surprise if Los Blancos punished another important step for a central defender in the same summer. Even more without the exit of one of their higher earners, such as Alaba or Antonio Rudiger.
If they see Hato as a left back, he might be logical if their other options collapse. At the moment they probably seem to leave this race.
