Football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Arsenal want to sign Ajax centre-back, Jorrel Hato.
According to Romano, Hato is one of their top targets for the summer transfer window.
Hato, 18, made his debut for Ajax last season but quickly established himself as a first-team regular at the start of the current campaign.
His contract with Ajax will expire in 2028, but Arsenal are ‘pushing’ to sign the player this summer and are already preparing a move.
“Hato signed a new deal with Ajax a few months ago, Ajax are obviously more than happy with him and hoping to keep Hato at the club in the summer,” Romano said on the Here We Go podcast.
“But Arsenal are still following him, they’ve tracked him multiple times, they believe he is a top, top centre back in terms of potential, so keep an eye on Arsenal. They are still pushing on Hato and they believe they are frontrunners in the race to sign him.
“Let’s see if they can make it happen this summer, or it has to be in the future, but Hato remains one of the priority names on Arsenal’s list,” he added.
