Arsenal are stepping up their move for Ajax’s Jorrel Hato following Kieran Tierney’s exit and uncertainty over other defenders.
Arsenal are set to intensify their pursuit of Ajax defender Jorrel Hato following Kieran Tierney’s confirmed departure, TBR Football reports. The Gunners have monitored Hato since his teenage years, and Mikel Arteta now views the versatile 19-year-old as a priority target ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Hato, valued at £40 million, has impressed at both centre-back and left-back, making him a strong tactical fit. Questions remain over the futures of Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko, with the former reportedly keen on a return to Italy. Arsenal had previously opted for Riccardo Calafiori but now appear ready to go all in for Hato.
