Chelsea reportedly had some contacts already for the potential transfer moves of one of the game’s biggest defensive prospects.
According to Simon Phillips, Bruce spoke with representatives of Ajax Wonderkid Yorrel Hat, who has been tracked for a while by Arsenal this week.
The pigeons are illuminating Ajax and currently appear to be one of the game’s biggest talents, offering quality options at centre back or left back.
It seems like it’s only a matter of time in the Premier League before a big club snaps pigeons.
It will be interesting to see if the pigeons end up in Chelsea or Arsenal, but perhaps Enzo Maresca’s part is showing the most keen interest now.
Jorrel Hato could be tied down to London, but will he end up at Chelsea or Arsenal?
The pigeons could be an important addition to this Chelsea team, and the West London giants need the upgrades of inconsistent performers like Levi Colwill, Tosin Adalabioyo, Benoit Badiaseal and injury-prone Wesley Fofana.
The Netherlands International is also sure to be sure of regular playing times at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea ownership committing to a model that recruits and develops the best young players from around the world.
Arsenal may also be seen as an attractive project as pigeons are likely to play in the Champions League and compete for major honors in the near future.
But the problem is that pigeons will have a hard time making sure they play regularly at Emirates Stadium. There, he faced competition with central defensemen William Saliba and Gabriel Magalges and left-back Miles Lewis Skelly and Riccardo Carafioli.
Still, if something like Jakub Kiwior or Oleksandr Zinchenko leaves, that could mean there’s also room for Hato to go in.
