Jorrel Hato Will Not Return to Ajax This Winter

Jorrel Hato will not be returning to Amsterdam this winter, according to reports from the BBC. There were indications that the nineteen-year-old defender was a top candidate to compete with Owen Wijndal for the left-back position at Ajax, but those prospects have now been dashed. The English outlet states that Chelsea is not prepared to loan Hato out at this time.

In Ajax’s pursuit of reinforcements for the left-back spot, Hato’s name had surfaced. The young player moved to Chelsea last summer, where he has primarily been seated on the bench. In recent weeks, Hato was linked to a potential return to Ajax, which was eager to secure a six-month loan for him. However, the BBC reports that the Premier League club is currently unwilling to cooperate, prompting Ajax to seek alternative options.
