New Chelsea signing Jorrel Hato ‘very excited’ to complete Premier League switch

Ajax Wonderkid Jorrel Hato admitted that he was happy after drawing for Chelsea.

The former Ajax defender completed his move to Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Hato joins Chelsea for a fee of £ 37 million and he has signed a contract for 2032.

The 19-year-old said: “I am very excited, I am so happy to be here.

“I thought a lot about my future and wanted to take the next step in my career. Chelsea is the best place for me to do that, so I am very happy.”

Hato also explained: “I really thought of my future and this is what I wanted. I think I fit well with the way Chelsea plays, so I was sure that I would take my step to Chelsea.

“It was certainly a big decision. I played at Ajax for seven years and for me it was at home – the people, the players, the coaches, the culture. So it was not easy to leave, but my feeling was that I had to take a step for the biggest club in the biggest competitions, and for me this was the right decision at the right time.”

Hato added: “This was the right time for me to take a big step, to come to the Premier League, to come to Chelsea. And now I'm here!”
