The Dutch defender completed his move to Chelsea despite interest in other locations after being seen in Liverpool earlier, as the Dutch defender claimed the blues were the best place for him<\/h2>\n

Jorell Hatt claims that “Chelsea is the best place for me” after completing his move to the blues, despite something like Liverpool being enthusiastic about the younger defenders.<\/p>\n

Hato rose in the ranks with Ajax and had many European clubs focused on his services, but he chose to move to Stamford Bridge and signed a contract in the capital until 2032.<\/p>\n

Levi Colwill and Trevoh Chalobah were two central defenders for Chelsea when they won the Club World Cup, but are now facing a 19-year-old competition that brought the club back to \u00a337 million. However, pigeons are sure they have found the best environment for him.<\/p>\n

He told the club’s website:<\/p>\n

Talks of the move to Liverpool skyrocketed after the defender was seen at Anfield when Liverpool won Ipswich in January. The pigeon’s suitor list was understood to include Liverpool, who considered adding a new central defender this summer.<\/p>\n

However, his weekend visit to Merseyside was due to his relationship with Dutchman Ryan Gravenberch. The pair have performed with Holland, and pigeon made his senior debut at the age of 17, winning six caps. He also captained the Dutch side this summer with U21 euros.<\/p>\n

Liverpool sold Jarrell Kuansa to Bayer Lebakusen this summer, and Ibrahima Konate entered the final 12 months of his contract. He is considered eager to switch to Real Madrid, which can protect against the red light. They are also deeply connected with Crystal Palace skipper Mark Guech.<\/p>\n

Chelsea’s latest arrival will increase summer costs to the \u00a3250 million mark. Hato is the first major defensive arrivals that Enzo Maresca has chosen to bolster the frontline. Joao Pedro signed from Brighton for \u00a355 million and played a key role in the Blues, who won the Club World Cup.<\/p>\n

Liam Dellup also joined from Ipswich, leading to questions about Nicholas Jackson’s future. Jamie Gittens returned to his hometown after being impressed by Borussia Dortmund for \u00a348.5 million. RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons is considered high on Chelsea’s shortlist.<\/p>\n
