Chelsea have engaged in discussions with Ajax regarding the potential acquisition of their defender, Jorrel Hato.
Football transfer analyst Ben Jacobs has revealed that Ajax are valuing Hato at £60 million, while Chelsea are aiming to negotiate a fee closer to €40 million.
It remains uncertain whether the Blues will increase their offer for the highly rated 19-year-old defender.
In a separate update, Arsenal have officially announced that striker Daniel Oyetunde has signed his first professional contract with the club.
Oyetunde, who joined Arsenal’s youth setup as an under-15 player, recently completed a two-year scholarship before turning professional.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Oyetunde reflected on his journey: “I joined as an under-15, so this is my fifth year at the club. I have enjoyed every step, learnt a lot while I have been here. Obviously, during my scholarship the last two years, I have gained an immense amount of experience from the coaches and players I have played alongside. I’m looking forward to what the next year holds.”
