Chelsea added Jorrel Hato to their squad in the summer, and it’s fair to say fans were happy about the move.

He’s had some ups and downs since, but the talent is obvious. It’s easy to forget just how young he is. We’re not sure he will feature today, but we’re always likely to see him as relief for Marc Cucurella off the bench.

In the press conference yesterday, Liam Rosenior praised the youngster.

Rosenior praises Jorrel Hato’s massive potential

“In my time, he’s been magnificent,” the head coach said.

“I’ve been so impressed with his temperament, his physicality, technically. He is a joy to work with every day, and at his age, it’s scary how good he could be.

“It takes time. He’s a young player that came through at Ajax, who captained Ajax at 17 years old. He then joins a massive club in a different league, in a different culture, and it takes time to bed in.

“In terms of what’s happened before me, there are loads of different contextual things that can affect a player’s performance, but in my time with Jorrel, he’s earned my trust, he’s earned the staff’s trust, and he’s a very, very exciting player.”

The game against Everton is tough to be a tough one. David Moyes has made them so hard to beat, and Rosenior was singing his praises today.
