Jorrel Hato Will Not Return to Ajax This Winter

Jorrel Hato will not be returning to Amsterdam this winter, according to the BBC. Reports had suggested that the nineteen-year-old defender was a top candidate to compete with Owen Wijndal for the left-back position at Ajax, but that prospect has now been dismissed. The English media outlet states that Chelsea is not willing to loan Hato.

In the search for reinforcement at the left-back position, Hato’s name had surfaced. The young talent transferred to Chelsea last summer, where he has primarily been sitting on the bench. In recent weeks, Hato was linked to a swift return to Ajax, which was eager to secure him on a six-month loan. However, the BBC indicates that the Premier League club is currently not amenable to this arrangement, prompting Ajax to seek alternatives.
