Lagos, Nigeria – Chelsea don dey plot wetin go fit shake their defense as dem don hold fresh talks for Ajax defender Jorrel Hato. E be like say this 19-year-old no fit hide as clubs dey eye am for transfer market. Naija style, you sabi?
Jorrel Hato, wey don shine for Ajax academy, fit play both centre-back and left-back. Chelsea dey seriously consider am because Ben Chilwell and Renato Veiga dey prepare to japa from Stamford Bridge this summer. Na wah! Dem need fresh blood make dem fit balance dia defense.
For Chelsea, manager Enzo Maresca don depend on Marc Cucurella as im starting left-back, but wetin happen when bad belle catch am? Cover don come from other angles, like Malo Gusto and Reece James, but dem na right-backs naturally. No be small panic, my guy.
No be only Cucurella dey face serious pressure, Levi Colwill dey also dey flex him muscles as left-back. Last season, dem even throw am inside back for 0-0 draw against Everton, but na wetin we go call ‘make do’ situation. Abeg, we need better options for this boys! (See, dem fit knack better ball for pitch if dem fit position properly).
Last season, Hato no dey dull as e see action 50 times for Ajax, scoring three goals and collecting six caps for the Netherlands. E still get contract wey go hold am till 2028, no be am small matter, you go need deep pocket if you wan sign am.
Rumor go say price fit waka from £40million, but Ajax dey quote inflated price of £60million. To make am matter worse, no Premier League club don talk bid yet for this young talent wey dem dey hail as the 2024/25 Eredivisie Talent of the Year.
As Chelsea dey plot dem moves, no forget say Liverpool too dey eye Hato. Richard Hughes, una sporting director, dey seek to find left-sided centre-back in the 18-22 bracket for the squad as well. The competition dey hot, but na wetin market dey offer. Wisest man go always sabi when to drop or hold am.
For Chelsea, dem get various options like Colwill, Trevoh Chalobah, Tosin Adarabioyo and Benoit Badiashile on ground. But make we no forget Wesley Fofana wey dey out due to hamstring injury – options suppose dey plenty, but who sabi?
Meanwhile, another young prospect, Mamadou Sarr don join Aaron Anselmino to hold down di fort. Chelsea also dey hope to earn between £25 million and £30 million for Disasi wey don dey irregular under Maresca. In fact, e no even collect im passport as dem dey go Club World Cup during di tournament wey dem just win!
As dem dey try gather all the best talents for Stamford Bridge, dem fit touch ground on dis young Ajax star. The ball now dey in Chelsea court o. Make dem no forget say younger talents fit change di game if to say dem fit do am well!
