Jorrel Hato transfer news: Chelsea agree deal to sign 19-year-old Ajax centre-back

Chelsea has agreed a deal to sign Ajax-Centrum-back Jorrel Hato.

Sky Sports News understands that Chelsea pays a first fee of £ 35.5 million, plus add-ons, for the 19-year-old.

Ajax originally appreciated the player at around £ 52 million.

Hato will arrive in London in the coming days to undergo a medical and to complete the paperwork over a long -term contract.

Hato was not included in the Ajax team for the Como Cup final on Sunday, because he did not want to risk injury prior to his move to Stamford Bridge.

The defender fits in with Chelsea's strategy to sign young players on low basic wages for heavily stimulated contracts.

They would like to sign Hato, because he can also offer cover to Marc Cucurella on the left, who played nearly 70 games for Chelsea and Spain last season.

Hato would mark the seventh new signature in the summer transfer window for Enzo Maresca, after the arrivals of Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens, Estevao Willian, Dario Essugo and Mamadou Sarr.
