One journalist has now named a player who could well end up being this unnamed defender that Chelsea have lined up for the summer.
Chelsea have just recently recalled centre back Trevoh Chalobah from his season long loan move at Crystal Palace to add more cover in those areas. But they could also still look to sell one of, or even both of, Axel Disasi and/or Tosin Adarabioyo. Tosin has been linked with Brighton this week, and Disasi continues to have growing rumours of departing the club this month.
So even though this mystery defender is lined up for the summer, there is also a chance that Chelsea accelerate that move to the current winter transfer window that we are in.
Matt Law of The Telegraph has been mentioning a mystery unnamed defender that Chelsea have on their agenda to sign in the summer, but apparently nobody has revealed the name. The only other clue is that the defender is young, obviously, because that is just how Chelsea recruit these days.
Jorrel Hato in action for Ajax
Journalist Ben Jacobs was on a space on X last night, and he named dropped one young defender who Chelsea ‘really like’, and I and in the belief that this could well be the same defender being mentioned by Matt Law.
In words picked up on X, Jacobs said:
“I understand Chelsea really like 19 year old Hato from Ajax, tough to do now but more likely a summer departure.”
Jorrel Hato is an 18-year-old playing for Ajax who can play as a centre back or as a left back. He is already a full Dutch international, getting 5 caps for the senior national side.
We will see if Chelsea make this move and if he is the mystery defender lined up.
