Chelsea are all set to sign a new defender Jorrel Hato from Ajax on around a €40 million deal. The blues were behind the centre-back since long and finally the agreement has been reached with the club. The blues will welcome the defender soon and once the medical is done, the deal will be announced.

Chelsea are set to bolster their backline with the signing of Ajax’s highly-rated centre-back Jorrel Hato for a fee of around €40 million. The Blues have been monitoring the 18-year-old talent for months and have now reached an agreement with the Dutch club.

Hato, known for his composure on the ball and defensive intelligence, is regarded as one of the brightest young prospects in Europe. Chelsea’s pursuit of the Ajax captain signals their intent to invest in youth while strengthening their defensive options.

The deal is expected to be finalized soon, with Hato scheduled to undergo a medical before the official announcement. Once completed, he will become Chelsea’s latest addition as they continue their squad rebuild under the new project.
