Jorrel Hato has passed medical test, he is about to sign 7-year contract with them.

After weeks of speculations, Jorrel Hato is about to join the blues as club is confident of giving a long contract.

Despite of having many players, Chelsea will try their best to sign Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig, as a player is ready to join them.

The club have been keen to sign Hato as he can also provide cover to Marc Cucurella at left-back, who played nearly 70 games last season for Chelsea and Spain.

Hato would mark the seventh new signing in the summer transfer window for Enzo Maresca, following the arrivals of Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens, Estevao Willian, Dario Essugo and Mamadou Sarr.

Despite only being 19 years of age, the jump into the Premier League will not faze Jorrel Hato.

Still a teenager, he has played over 100 times for Ajax, captained the club at just 17 and played six times for the Netherlands.

Hato is capable of playing at both centre back or left back, adding valuable competition and depth to Chelsea’s backline, who are facing a quick turnaround before the 2025/26 season begins following their Club World Cup triumph.
