Arsenal is interested in securing services for Ajax defender Jorrel Hato this summer.
The 19-year-old is also a key target for Chelsea, and Bruce is considered to be the forefront of the race to sign him. However, the report by Fichages claims that Arsenal is not yet ready to give up on signing.
They will try to push his signature strongly. After that, Dutch International will be a solid long-term acquisition for both teams. It would be interesting to see where he ends.
The pigeon has already agreed to personal terms with Chelsea.
Jorrel Hato is an elite talent
He can operate as a central defender and as a left-back. His versatility is an extra bonus. Arsenal is looking to build a formidable team for the future, but it’s no surprise that they are passionate about talented young defenders like him.
They recently signed Valencia’s Christian Mosquera, a highly talented young defender. It will be interesting to see if they can get a deal with Dutch International across the line.
Can Arsenal beat Chelsea to a move to the pigeon?
Arsenal recognizes the fact that they cannot compete financially with Chelsea, but they want to sell the project to players and convince them to join the club. They are undoubtedly one of the largest clubs in the world, and they have consistently fought for major trophies. Meanwhile, Chelsea is in the process of rebuilding.
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal could convince Jorell Hat to turn down a move to Chelsea and take the place instead. Both clubs become attractive destinations for young defenders. They were able to help him meet his incredible potential in the near future.
