The Chelsea Transfer Chiefs could actually be in another striker’s market after sealing off AJAX defender Jorrel Hato’s £35 million deal earlier this week.
After completing medical care on Friday, pigeons placed the pen on paper on a seven-year contract. The Dutch were to cover Mark Kuklera with the left back.
The 19-year-old arrives at Stamford Bridge after competing in more than 110 seniors at Ajax, despite his younger age, including experience in European competitions.
Hato began his career primarily as a center half, but Chelsea agrees to former AJAX manager Francesco Falioli.
“Yarel started out as a central defender, but under our guidance, he became a fullback at the national team level,” said Fariori via Ben Jacobs at X.
“This kind of transformation comes from a detailed analysis of his technical and physical attributes.” Hato has excellent technical skills, physically strong and fast, and excels in one-on-one situations. He may not have a natural defensive instinct as a centre-back, but his experience in that role has given him good game reading ability.
“Ajax still saw him as a central defender, but at a very high level, like in the Premier League, I think a player standing at 1.81m will have a hard time playing in the center, especially in physically tough duels.
“In my opinion, his future is more as a left-back, requiring both offensive and defensive qualities and suits his traits.”
The transfer plan right in front of Chelsea will likely revolve around their attacks.

Chelsea is also expected to bid on Man United winger Alejandro Garnacho in another deal with Simons, with Strasbourg striker Emmanuel Emega still on the Blueco radar.

Reports suggest that if Nicholas Jackson leaves, Chelsea can still sign another striker, and Emega is the chief among targets after a good season in League One.

The 22-year-old was recorded as the fastest player on France’s top flight last season, with Chelsea trying to attack Emega’s “early deals” and expects his price tag to rise to over £44 million in the coming years if he doesn’t act now.
That’s what Telegraph journalist Matt Law said this week that London is a Blue Podcast.
window.
“I’ve been told by someone who works on the edge of Strasbourg that I believe one day this guy could become a striker for over 50 million euros,” Law said.
“Maybe they’re trying to make an early deal for him.
“If you do that now, you can probably do it here, so I’m guessing it here. I don’t know this is a number, but I say 25 million euros (£22 million).
Emega scored 14 league one goals along with being the most explosive player in League One, but it is unclear what Chelsea’s plan is for him or whether he will go straight to Maresca’s first team.
