London (AP) – Club World Cup Champion Chelsea<\/span> Ajax Dutch defender Jorrel Hato has completed the signing of Ajax’s Dutch defender, Jorrel Hato, in a reported transaction worth \u00a337 million ($49 million).<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old pigeon, who concluded his country six times, signed a seven-year contract at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

He will be the eighth signature of the Blues’ summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

“I’m very excited,” said the pigeon, which can operate in the central defense or in the left rear. He spoke to the Premier League Club website<\/span>.<\/p>\n

“I was thinking a lot about my future and wanted to take the next step in my career. Chelsea is the perfect place for me to do that, so I’m very happy.”<\/p>\n

Hato joined the Ajax academy from his hometown club Sparta Rotterdam in 2018, and four years later, he signed his first professional contract at the age of 16.<\/p>\n

He scored four goals in 111 appearances for the Eredy Busy team, and his international debut was replaced by a 6-0 victory over Gibraltar in November 2023.<\/p>\n

Chelsea will begin their Premier League season on August 17th at their Crystal Palace home.<\/p>\n
